[Poll #980885]

Note: "An award" does not mean that you are indiscriminate and will read something just because it won A. N. Award. If you occasionally read books because they win the Whitbread, but couldn't care less about the Nebula winner, tick "yes" for "I have occasionally read a book because it was nominated for or won an award." Similarly, if you've been debating about picking up a book and then an award tips you over the edge, that counts as a yes too. Use your own judgement for what counts as "occasionally" or "often".

You were the one pimping often as a significant number.

22%? so five people voted yes (three of which I would still count as usual suspects) and what 2? (that's 28%) people voted no? one? (that's 17%) (I do not see how you get to 22.) This is the "lots" you were talking about?

No, a quarter of voters being not on my friendlist is what I was referring to as a lot. Which, given that about 100 people have voted, I'm happy to stand behind.

However, since Andrew's produced a survey from the general population, I'll go and stand behind that, instead.

You mean he has a poll of library users, again, not the general population.

(and if we count the people who have three or four people in common with your friends list, the random poll people plummets to 8% who have occasionally read.)
