Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | I was wondering if you guys would mind taking a survey about reading habits for me. I'm currently doing research for the publishing company I hope to startup sometime in the near future. Also, feel free to share the survey link with your friend, relatives, co-workers, or classmates. I'm looking for input from people from all walks of life, those that love to read and those who hate it. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again. EDIT: THANKS FOR THE TIP!!! I couldn't figure out how to just link to the survey, so I had to link to its page at my web site. But thanks for letting me know.

Psychopath Registered: Feb. 02 | Hi Joey. I couldn't click on the link, so heres a quick posting of what types of books I like: I love mysteries, especially when the author manages to trick me. Tom Savage (Valentine, The Inheritance, Scavenger) is a master of this. I get to the last page, have the rug pulled out from under me, and then realize I should have figured it out... I also like psychological dramas. I enjoy authors like Thomas Harris (Red Dragon, Silence Of The Lambs) and James Patterson (Along Came A Spider, Jack And Jill) who aren't afraid to explore the mind of a deranged killer. Also, I enjoy an imaginative science fiction story. Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere, Good Omens) is great at inventing new worlds and making them seem like they're all around us. Hope this helps you.

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | quote: I think if we could give books away for free, it would: 1) take the pressure off the writer so that he/she can show their true colors and talents; 2) provide literature to people who don't have an extra $7 every couple weeks to feed their reading hobby (and reading has a lot of benefits to society); 3) don't you think you should be able to enjoy art free? When books are sold, they are chopped up and altered to read like just about every other book out there, if they even get published! Imagine all the wonderful stories that weren't published because a publisher didn't want to take the risk? As consumers, we are missing out on a lot of good stories. With free books, you don't have to buy them. Is this making any sense? Yeah, I'm a little bit of a dreamer, but I am a determined dreamer. :) Joey #10 in the Naughtiest Nightie Contest • Email Me Thought and Emotion - Here's my personal writing and fun site Searching to find a love up on a higher level | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | quote: Not all kids get an allowance. And, not all people can reason throwing money away on a book if they're barely making ends meet elsewhere, which is a lot of people. It would make a difference to them. Not only that, but there are the other reasons that I listed above that contribute to free books...not just the price. A good book is like a good friend....haven't you ever heard that?

Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | quote:Yet those people can't be bothered to go to the library if they enjoy reading? And we should provide people who can barely make ends meet with free books (which they could get anyway) instead of providing them with something like food/shelter or something along those lines? Yeah, I know, you have other reasons for free books, but frankly, lack of money is not a real good sellng point. | ||||
