I bet part of Amazon’s motive is the fact that people are more likely to buy something if the reviews are good, and there’s a lot of them.

- ajmurmann 9y agoMaybe. Funny enough though I looked into buying The Brothers Kamazorov a year ago or so and have up because I didn't know what translation to buy and the reviews all being mixed together just fed my confusion and I have up. I only came back to it because someone on a podcast recommended a particular translation.
- nsomaru 9y agoCould you name the podcast and the translation?
- ajmurmann 9y agoAs almost everything I talk about it happened on econtalk: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2018/02/jordan_peterson.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2018/02/jordan_peterson.htm... The translation is by Constance Garnett. They only mention the book in passing. If I wouldn't have been wanting to read the book since years and called Russ Roberts highly the podcast wouldn't have made me want to read the book. It was in no way the topic of the episode or even close.
