The Absolute state of Goodreads Anonymous Tue Apr 28 20:13:02 2020 No.15223393 [Reply] [Original]

the top reviewer has almost 10000 rated books and his reviews have hundred of points but they consist only of a summary of the plot in english and in his own language.
i just don't get it.

Damn i thought this old fart unironically wrote a review of every work he reads because he's literally everywhere.
I guess at least they're worth more than the roasties who have hundreds of "read" books and write low effort reviews with tumblr GIFs taken from harry potter movies.

I’m pretty sure he just uploads the Persian editions of all those books along with his synopsis in both languages for the other Iranians on GR - they’re pretty well read over there from what I hear.

>>15226080
It's late asf so I might be retarded but assuming he's 65 (probably early 60's late late 50's) but he from birth to now would have read 38% of a book everyday. He might just be spreading literature into his culture

>>	Anonymous Wed Apr 29 05:28:39 2020 No.15226313 >>15226080 Yes How do you think every single book ever manages to get several reviews? Some people are paid to read all day and a lot of them are very good at reading quickly and for long periods of time.
