Do you read them? If no, why not?

I do. I'm sure I miss the occasional one, but if it sounds interesting, I read it.

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

Only if I think I can read it soon, or have already read it. Otherwise, there isn't much point.

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

I haven't, other than a few small things here or there. I don't want to write a review after reading some of you other reviewers.

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.

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

It's not about not caring, but when I'm busy, what all can I really say if I know nothing about the book or know I won't be reading it soon? Maybe we need the lame-o like (or a not-like) button.
