This whole thing just makes me feel sort of tired. I like free books as much as the next person, but I’m also at the library everyday and don’t lack for books to read. I don’t even know what my point is! That’s how tired this discussion makes me :)

@Patti I understand completely. I think, more than anything, I don’t want to see bloggers used as billboards. It drags us all down and makes me sad.

Me neither. Makes me sad. And nauseated.

Thanks for posting this. Thought-provoking stuff.I like reading & writing reviews. I’m thinking lately about how to make my reviews more critical, fledgling though my blog is. I try to think about what I’d want to know about the book.
