This is super true, and it’s true in music, too; the industry relies heavily on first week sales to stay afloat in both cases, so it’s great for authors and musicians if you buy stuff in the first week. But the idea that you have to have something to say about it right away or even soon, absurd!
You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

As someone who likes to check the career TD leaderboards whenever he gets into the end zone, this was a huge day for me.
