Johanna Kleyla _ohanna_leyla — I've been on an Octavia Butler kick. I just reread . It is such a disturbingly, good book. The present and past become blurred as the main character travels through time from 1976 Los Angeles to 1812 Chesapeake. Butler tells a story about slavery, racism, difference and love. I couldn't put it down.

Luis Romero lromero4149 — Interesting Tidbits - Three forces need to create the long tail: 1. democratize production: give average people the ability to create quality content (movies, music, blogs) 2. democratize distribution: technology to aggregate *all* the content in a genre (Amazon, Netflix, iTunes) 3. Connect Supply and Demand: filters to help people find the niche's they are interested in (Google, recommendations, best-seller lists) - One quarter of Amazon's sales come from books outside its top 100,000 titles. Thus having a long tail adds ~33% to your bottom line. - Ranking bestsellers across niche's genre's gives little value. Filters to rank items must be applied within each niche to become relevant. Goodreads could improve here. - As the number of niche's increases, the ability of people to consume more content within the genre increases. This depends on the genre, but it gives me hope that we can increase the number of people who read through Goodreads, by creating better filters to connect readers of various niche's. - each year 200,000 books are published in english, and fewer than 20,000 make it into a bookstore. Only 2% of the books published in 2004 sold more than 5000 copies, and can be considered profitable. - There is another factor that determines why people create content, other than money: reputation. - Ebay has 60 million active users

álvaro Vg _lvaro_ — ** spoiler alert ** This was a very disturbing book. Rachel Ford was kidnapped, raped, and slaughtered? for such a morbid situation the author didn't get into the other character's reactions too much. And Ruben's "Gift" was not explained at all. what was it? why did he have it? how does it even change the outcome of the story!? This was a very good book, but a little forgettable because of the lack of details.

Yeekwang Kim igwain — I read Kavalier & Clay first which set the bar fairly high for Chabon. While an excellent book, it is overshadowed by other works...

Ma Zorghaly _ouraghly — Frank Miller had his stint as the writer for Daredevil, and helped transform the character into something much more cooler than a blind lawyer who wears red tights and fights crime by night.

Xiaoxin Wang maxinewang — It's a really long read but worth it.
