These days almost all my reading is from people I've met in person or in blogs. The only big change that's made for me is that I rarely comment on books any more. That's because even if I love them (the books, not the people) because then I'll worry that I'll insult someone whose book I didn't comment on or I'll hate the next book the person writes or I'll get something wrong and she'll see it.
[insert Jewish mother joke: What? you didn't like the other tie?]
Usually I don't have that awareness of the author while I'm reading. If the book is any good, I get sucked into its world and forget who wrote it.
