audiobooks are kinda cool in a sitting around the fire listening to an orator regale you and the tribe kinda way, but i still can't deal. i like to re-read passages too much--and maybe you should be paying more attention to the road than your critical analysis imo

i sure wish Goodreads was as hard on scores as a community like Rateyourmusic is. seriously there's something hosed up and evil in a world where Ready Player One holds a 4.2 at least on RYM if an album's over a 4, it's likely good. meanwhile i don't know what the hell to think of a book's score on Goodread

branedotorg posted:if you see a book below 4-4.2 on goodreads, it's going to be bad, no matter how many geocities era animated gifs you see in the reviews. The Man Who Was Thursday is a 3.83, Frankenstein a 3.86 and even Kafka's Metamorphosis's the same that's not right

Mrenda posted:Even more than this, writing serials, I find readers, some of them at least, are incredibly unwilling to go with the flow of a book or story. They want specific things from every chapter, even if the story demands other things. Once something doesn't deliver immediately, and hit precise expectations, they get pissy. Any ideas of setting things up long term, or showing something that's intended to be dealt with later, as a foundational aspect, is hotly rejected. That something might be unclear, for a little, is a sign to abandon something. you arent a very good writer based on post history so im siding with the readers here
