Lubimy czytać, lubimy pisać, ale kto z tego korzysta? Kilka uwag o społecznościowych portalach recenzenckich

The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the phenomen of unprofessional literary blogs. The main reference is lubimyczytac.pl which has over one hundred thousand of users who publish their reviews about books. Both lubimyczytac.pl and private literary blogs create an alternative place for discussing literature beyond professional, academic literary criticism. This alternative place pretends to be free from depending on market and to present an „authentic reading experience” rather than professional review. But schematic composition and language of those texts as well as the need to strive for the popularity causes the same mechanism of dependence as in professional literary criticism.
