Sure, but you're one single improbable person, not a whole bunch of people working specialized roles to get all the reviews covered and edited and proofed and put out where people can see them; they're assuming you're either an outlier, or a subsidized attempt to get their reviewers to break free and flee into the hinterlands of the Internet and submerge themselves in the incomprehensible post-Web economy. Before I could answer the question, I'd have to know how long a book has to sit waiting for me to get back to it before I'm no longer considered to be "reading" it, and also whether websites full of fanfiction and/or comment threads count. Dave, and webcomics, and newspaper comic strips, come to think of it -- \/David DeLaney posting thru EarthLink - "It's not the pot that grows the flower It's not the clock that slows the hour The definition's plain for anyone to see Love is all it takes to make a family" - R&P.
