I enjoy the reviews greatly. I wish I could access them all on one page. Tom Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 01:12:25 AM
Do you read them? If no, why not?

I do read them when I see them. However, they can drop off the radar the way things work presently. There definitely should be an independent way to access reviews (or at least "published" reviews that pass muster in your opinion).

Do you comment on them? If no, why not?

Sometimes I do, but usually I don't. I think that often I don't comment because I haven't read the book in question and, for most fantasy or sci-fi books, I'm not really interested.

Have you written a review for the site? If no, why not?

Yes, I have!

I love reviews. They're always interesting, they're good for helping me decide what I do or don't want to read, and they introduce me to new authors. So I find it strange that people here don't seem to care that much about them, despite the fine effort put in by many people here.

I don't know if it has to do with site layout, a certain thinning of the ranks due to transition or what, but we do need more participation.

Is there anything we could do that would make you get more involved?

A large cash payout is always a great incentive. Seriously, I'm committed to seeing the site work.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
