You always manage to come up with something expected. I too mean it when I say I'm adding the book to my TBR list. I actually keep a hard copy list - a journal of book titles that I go back to again and again. I may never get around to certain books, but I always have the intention of doing so. Time flies though - you know how that goes. Sometimes real life will interfere. :) When I comment anywhere, I do my best to make it chatty. That's the kind of comment I like to receive as well. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-20069872824248363182014-04-16T12:50:32.678-07:002014-04-16T12:50:32.678-07:00I really enjoyed reading this, Prashant, and felt ...I really enjoyed reading this, Prashant, and felt I learned more about you. I very much liked your witty and honest answers to the questions, and the whole post made me think about my own blogging and reading habits.

I suppose I'd like to think I inject some of my personality into my posts - mainly humour, hopefully enthusiasm, but perhaps I wouldn't be the best judge of that.<br />Perhaps I'd be guilty of blandness on occasions when leaving comments for others, not always though. Some posts (not just here) capture my interest more than others.<br />Ditto regarding some blogs, which would be more avoided from a content POV rather than sense of a lack of personality.<br /><br />Is blogging a vanity thing? who has the most views, the most comments, the most followers, is there a pecking order?col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-36953755579113889842014-04-15T17:57:45.064-07:002014-04-15T17:57:45.064-07:00Prashant,

Like Tracy, I enjoy your reading habits posts. So keep up the good work. <br /><br />whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-28572570014707442462014-04-15T05:25:07.433-07:002014-04-15T05:25:07.433-07:00I have followed your blog for a long time.

I mostly do read posts on books I have read or already am inclined to read. I post a comment when I can. I see nothing wrong with a nice post comment, especially to a blogger I know. My blog is lacking in personal content and nay give little sense of the person behind it. My focus is on books and short stories, not on me.

I will often find new interesting blogs but just don't have time to read all of them. I like John's comment on sharing ideas and opinions. That is harder for me to do and sometimes if I do, I feel like I overdid it.

I also tend not to follow links to videos, since that usually takes up much more time than simply reading. I almost always comment when I visit. I think my blog shows me pretty exactly as I am.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-73835750730622685252014-04-14T07:29:53.996-07:002014-04-14T07:29:53.996-07:00I have never once questioned the veracity of your ...I have never once questioned the veracity of your comments, Prashant. I return to your blog repeatedly because you have a unique voice and you share your ideas and opinions. Not everyone does. I have to say re #2 and #11 that there are a few blogs I have visited that I have never returned to because 1. I get zero sense of a personality of the writer or 2. the blog posts point out the obvious with little personal insight offered. As for #6: why wouldn't you be honest? It's interesting to me to encounter some commentors who never reveal anything about themselves and leave canned responses blandly written (Great review. Thanks for this!) day after day. They seem meaningless after a while. It's hard to believe someone who does nothing but repeat the same words in a fawning exclamatory manner.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
