I read reviews and consider myself pretty ‘plugged in’ to the literary cosmos, yet one of the things I love best about book-touring is the opportunity to compare notes with favorite booksellers around the country.

Cruise Critic’s community of cruisers is the largest in the world, so to be named to this list is truly an honor, of the thousands of reviews we received in 2014, these ships represent the best-of-the-best, qualified by travelers who have sailed firsthand and shared their experiences once they returned Picture Quote #1

For too long, the system has been biased in favor of oil and gas developers: sweetheart lease deals, generous subsidies and a regulatory process so slanted in favor of Big Oil that often permit reviews are simply waived Picture Quote #1

I’ve read quite a few readers’ reviews of my book on Amazon, saying, ‘Ah, he criticises the free market, he advocates central planning.’ I don’t do that for a minute! But this is our black and white, dichotomous way of thinking - which has really been harmful Picture Quote #1

Commercial books don’t even get covered. The reason why so many book reviews go out of business is because they cover a lot of stuff that nobody cares about. Imagine if the movie pages covered none of the big movies and all they covered were movies that you couldn’t even find in the theater? Picture Quote #1

What with the reviews of critics, the sarcasms of one’s friends, the reproaches of one’s own taste, there’s precious little peace after publishing a book Picture Quote #1

With a hardcover, you get two chances, a year apart, for the book to make an impact - often with a new cover featuring artfully crafted snippets of reviews, a new marketing campaign and maybe even a new publisher Picture Quote #1

Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books same reviews Picture Quote #1

Shorter work - personal essays and book reviews - allow me to take a break from working on a book, which is good for the book and for its author Picture Quote #1

This man very often writes about his family life Picture Quote #1

I started to write book reviews as a means of recording my thoughts about what I’d read before all memory of them vanished Picture Quote #1

I rarely write in my own voice except in book reviews and memoirs; otherwise, I am writing in mediated voices, modulated in terms of the characters whom the voices express Picture Quote #1

Children read books, not reviews. They don’t give a hoot about critics Picture Quote #1
