But I guess I can add more context. Yeah, Goodreads is like other websites in that people get a certain something out of joining a chorus of criticizing voices. But I'm also talking about the sheer volume of reviewers who essentially read the same book over and over again, or who try to shoehorn every new book into a rigid (and unimaginative) notion of what a book is supposed to be. I think we valorize reading because, at its best, it's a uniquely immersive way of being exposed to new ideas; I think the preceding ways of reading thwart that. I don't begrudge people who just want to read fantasy novels forever, it's your life, but I don't think it's what we have in mind when we tell kindergarteners that reading is power.
