Thank you. I'm not a big blog reader myself and have recently unsubscribed from most on my list due to far too many posts and recommendations to deal with.
You‘re in a good company: C. S. Lewis likely wouldn‘t be a big fan of blogs either 😉
🗨 It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.

PS With this disclaimer in place, I don't see why it's such a big deal to reciprocate the recs as a simple act of courtesy. Our estranged world sure could use few helpings of lighthearted kindness 🙂
I urge you NOT to recommend anything unless you have read it and, you know, actually do recommend it. Reciprocal recommendations are just spam for us readers.
You know, actually, I've noticed that several of those who have recommended my substack have not generated any subscribers for my substack, which leads me to suspect that there ISN'T a strong cross fertilization potential between our readers. So, I'm already thinking that I need to tweak that strategy. Thanks.

Aren't you overthinking just trifling transactional good manners? 😇
As general rule it's probably fair to say that overthinking is my standard modus operandi.
Well I guess this explains why the majority of your posts are book like in length and depth, mystery solved. :-)
