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...
