>Once again, I appreciate your contribution to this general.
Thanks.

>Seems like a waste to have considering how many anons are always so intent on derailing this threads.
I don't mind waste overly much. They also go out to a couple 100 accounts on Goodreads in the /sffg/ group. Most of the previous write-ups, the sff related ones anyway, can be read here.

There may be differences between the GR version and the 4chan over time if I make any revisions. Looks like I forgot to put an image for a lot more of them I remembered or else something went wrong.

>Is anyone reading Abercrombies wisdom of crowds?
Yes, that's the next group read. Should be a few people, but it's important to keep expectations low. When the first book was published there were some who were quite vocal about disliking it. I've still enjoyed them.

> The autist who runs our goodreads page/reading group
Yes, I am the founder of the GR group and I post write-ups about books using the SFFG tripcode in this thread. I'm also the owner of the charts mega in the OP, though I've been neglecting it somewhat. I also posted the shortened form of the archive link and the /t/ link a few times before it was added to in the OP. I created the threads for an extended duration last year. However, I don't run the reading group. The discord server owner does that.

>read 93 books this year
That's what GR says anyway, but that doesn't mean they are all novels. My average page count says 343 at the moment, but there are quite a few that are shorter than novel length.

>only read books they think they’ll like.
That's only reasonable isn't it?

>If a random sample of all Goodreads users...the scores would probably be terrible
This goes for basically anything though.

>They also blatantly rate based on authors or political leaning of the work.
This isn't restricted to single type of person.

>if you don't retain anything you're just wasting time reading.
Do you feel the same way about the posts here, or social media in general?

Sometimes I'll read a novel a day for multiple days in a row. It does take up a considerable portion of the day though. I welcome all derision and attacks in general.

>there's always far more people who drop a book they don't like and not rate it
>I don't know why none of these book sites have Dropped category. It's something that matters more than the potential score reader assigns to a book.
Indeed, I agree. It's something I've mentioned more than a few times here and in the group. Some people make similar things for their personal accounts, but it would be nice if were a default feature and people bothered to use it.

The character limit for a post has now been reached. May as well sometimes just do so.
