Do you read them? If no, why not?
If it is from an author I enjoy, then yes. If I've never heard of it but the title catches my eye, then yes. If it is something written by someone whose opinion I value, then generally yes.
Do you comment on them? If no, why not?
Occasionally. But only if I have something to add. Most reviews don't really lend themselves to discussion, and I generally don't feel the need to tell people what I think...except in this survey
Have you written a review for the site? If no, why not?
Nope.
I love reviews. They're always interesting, they're good for helping me decide what I do or don't want to read, and they introduce me to new authors. So I find it strange that people here don't seem to care that much about them, despite the fine effort put in by many people here.
I don't know that there is a lack of appreciation, but more of a lack of something to say. I go back to what I said about reviews generally not lending themselves to discussion. Sometimes, I think people just want to see what someone else thought of a book and then move on. I suppose you could harass Ben into putting in some sort of "Like" option thingy like Facebook has
Is there anything we could do that would make you get more involved?
Free candy with every page view?

I enjoy the reviews greatly. I wish I could access them all on one page.

I am rather idiosyncratic about such things.

I think you're fairly idiosyncratic about most things.

Yeah. We kind of stopped doing that. Must get back into it at some point.

Speaking as a reviewer, it's just nice to get an affirmation once and a while...
