I am not a rude or ignorant man, br but there are some things, br that I will not do. br Unfortunately, I do not like br to read a lot of what br I am politely requested to read. br I am often bombarded by people br asking me to read br and comment on their work. br I do not like to be rude br and ignore their pleas, br but I just read what I like, br not what I am asked to read. br I choose whom I like, br if I see a title I find interesting br I will take the time to read it br and make a mental note of the author. br If I like what I read, br I will dip into that author’s work br time and time again. br I do not care if they read my work or not br that is their choice and I have mine. br All I ask is let me make up my own mind. br Do not bombard me with notes br requesting that I read your work, br as I am likely to ignore them. br I am not being rude or ignorant br it is I just do not do requests.
