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.

what's reading?



Sometimes we can choose the path we follow.
Sometimes our choices are made for us.
And sometimes we have no choice at all.

Books for free? What's wrong with paying for them?

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.

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. :)

Hmm, I've heard talk of these places, I think they're called libraries; you can go there and borrow books to read so you don't have to pay for them. What a concept. ;)

Depends on if you can help old Uncle Gonzo out...





Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the proletariat alone is a genuinely revolutionary class. The other classes decay and finally disappear in the face of Modern Industry; the proletariat is its special and essential product. The lower middle class, the small manufacturer, the shopkeeper, the artisan, the peasant, all these fight against the bourgeoisie, to save from extinction their existence as fractions of the middle class. They are therefore not revolutionary, but conservative. Nay, more, they are reactionary, for they try to roll back the wheel of history. If, by chance, they are revolutionary, they are only so in view of their impending transfer into the proletariat; they thus defend not their present, but their future interests; they desert their own standpoint to place themselves at that of the proletariat. The "dangerous class", the social scum, that passively rotting mass thrown off by the lowest layers of the old society, may, here and there, be swept into the movement by a proletarian revolution; its conditions of life, however, prepare it far more for the part of a bribed tool of reactionary intrigue.

Yeah, but a library is like taking the bus. Most people I know would rather drive their own car for comfort and privacy.

Playboy is a magazine. But I can't see why there can't be picture books...they'd last longer...
Thanks for the idea ;)

Who doesn't have an extra $7 every couple of weeks??? The homeless....don't think they read too much. Hell, even kids who get an allowance should be able to afford that.

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?

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.

It's not that I don't have the money to buy books. However, when I finished taking this little racially biased, gender specific test, the program called me a schmuck for spending so much money on literary trash.
