Well... Larry Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 02:06:59 AM
Do you read them? If no, why not?

I've read quite a few in my day

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

Occasionally, but usually only on blogs, not on forums anymore.

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

I've copy/pasted a few and will likely do so for a few more in the future, provided that I have any more time in the future for reading/writing reviews at all!

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?


I doubt it. I'm about to be swamped with a few dozen admission assessments on top of my weekly progress notes on each student/resident of mine, plus I just got placed in charge of evaluating IEPs and I might have to start taking special education classes next year...oh, and somehow find time to help edit an anthology of North and Latin American speculative fiction. If you can free up some time for me, maybe?

We can't do much about that... though... Jacob - 15/10/2009 04:35:32 PM 912 Views
I enjoy the reviews greatly. I wish I could access them all on one page. Tom - 13/10/2009 01:12:25 AM 1056 Views
Ben's working on that. Has to fix background bugs first. Rebekah - 13/10/2009 11:17:59 AM 957 Views
I don't really see reviews as something to be discussed Wibble - 13/10/2009 01:21:02 AM 1152 Views
