Of ratings and book musings...
Ratings, fast nationals only...
Wednesday:
America's Next Top Model (new) 3.57 mil., 1.8/5 demo
Pussycat Dolls (repeat) 1.63 mil., 0.8/2
Thursday:
Smallville (new) 3.79 mil., 1.6/5
Reaper (new) 2.81 mil., 1.2/3
Lost (repeat) 5.34 mil., 1.8/5
Lost (new) 11.87 mil., 4.8/13
Wow, Reaper did much better than I expected.
I decided to try and read books from more than one or two genres more often, really. For some time, the only books that I read were gay romances and they started to bore me to tears, really. Just like manga. I love manga but I need some variety, some diversity, a bit of this and a bit of that, not too much of one thing.
So, in the last week or so, I finished Hines' "Goblin Hero", Koontz's "The Face of Fear", Oki's "Ja-Dou: Teiou and Keika" and Butcher's "The Frankenstein's Factory" and started reading the paranormal anthology "On the Prowl". And that's more like it. I suddenly enjoy the various books much more :)
I always sweat-drop when I use the "compare books" feature on GoodReads and I find out that I have no books in common with people. I understand when it's someone who read 500 books. But a top user with over 10.000 books and I have not one book in common with them? That's rather... O.o-inducing, really XP
And when someone over on GR asks me to be their friend, I think about it twice before approving their request. There are two sorts of people that I refuse to friend: a) "friend-diggers", people who have ten times as many friends as they have books in their profile and b) people from the Near or Middle East - I have nothing against them personally, it's the language barrier. When they list more than 50% of their books in Arabic, which I don't speak, titles and reviews and all...

I was actually expecting it to do better than that - it had everything going for it: no major competition (no new CSI or Grey's) and it's first time paired with Smallville, which should be a huge chance to pick up new viewers sampling it for the first time (who could disappear the next week, but that's beside the point).

But the problem is that SPN is on its 3rd season and still doing slightly better, especially in repeats. And according to everybody and their uncle, it's not compatible with SV whereas Reaper so is *rolls eyes* And SPN didn't have three repeats against Lost first to gain back viewers, it hit new eps against new eps.
