I like ficbot's post. For those of you who have a vast history of having read everything in sight, you can combine your own likes with your own experience. In my case, recently retired and finally (!) able to devote some serious hours to reading, I struggle to get through the vast classical library which has, for me, so long been ignored. In addition, I am not a fast reader (the K3 is helping me speed up, however), having spent my life reading technical literature for content, not discretionary literature for fun.
So when I venture away from 'Frankenstein' and 'Dracula' into Sci-Fi, I do rely on recommendations to help me avoid paying for a 'dud' or wasting time on a freebie when there are so many others worth of my attention.
So I will begin trying to find an outlet for my own comments and reviews of books I'm reading. Would that others choose to do the same....
