At first, I didn’t think I would like goodreads. I signed up for it, used it once to add a bunch of stuff, and then forgot about it. Let’s face it… a list of books I have read and want to read? I can right that sh!t down!
Except I never did and always forgot what I wanted to read in the future. In the last few days, combined with my superhero-like powers of going ot the library and getting a card, I have managed to check out and start reading the things that I had forgotten about–like Steve Martin’s autobiography Born Standing Up. Maybe someday I will write about my sincere crush on this man.
But anyway, if you like reading, want to see what your firends are reading (and get ideas for things you might want to read next from their lists), goodreads is the way to go. After feeling as if there has been a dearth of new and desirable reading material lately, I now feel that here is a functional way to be introduced to new work and possibly winnow the wheat from the chaff in the process. Maybe I can stop reading the same books I enjoy over and over. And over.
