It's the difference in perspective again. I just open all the relevant posts in different tabs when I reply to a comment. While on this point your memory of my statement was correct, I can't help but wonder if the conversation wouldn't have run more smoothly on the point where there was a misunderstanding if you would have read my comments again.

And I agree with all of those things you said about people's recommendations regarding a book. I just don't do it. I am not claiming that people don't or shouldn't rely on recommendations. I'd bet the majority of people do, to some extent. And I'm sure those people are more than happy with their subsequent choices. I'm saying I don't rely on recommendations.

But how did you discover these authors? When you already like an author you don't need a recommendation to buy a book, buy there is always a beginning.
