Bien sûr. Legolas Send a noteboard - 13/10/2009 04:31:24 PM
Do you read them? If no, why not?

I do, usually, if the book sounds interesting or sometimes when it doesn't, if it's someone whose taste I particularly appreciate.
Do you comment on them? If no, why not?

I try to, but when I have nothing to say beyond "that's interesting", I don't always bother.
Have you written a review for the site? If no, why not?

Er, not yet I don't think. Lack of good books to review, I guess, I haven't finished too many books lately that were worth reviewing. I didn't write that many reviews on wotmania either, and the last one, of Possession, was not that long before the switch, so I haven't gotten around to another one yet.
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.

It's good that they get put on the main page, but yes, not too many replies in many cases... but then it's hard to say much about a book you haven't read.
Is there anything we could do that would make you get more involved?

I don't know. Probably.
