GoodReads!
Recently, when I asked for book recommendations on my other blog, I got a wide range of great suggestions, including one for a website called Goodreads.
Goodreads is a social networking site for bookworms--for those of us with arguably too much time on our hands...or maybe just long commutes--who devour books like chocolate and want nothing more than to discuss literature in great detail long into the night.
While on other social networking sites you might leave comments about individuals, on Goodreads, you write reviews for books. And while on other sites there's a plethora of "creative" grammar, people on Goodreads actually spell out the words correctly and in their entirety, And if that isn't enuf reesin 2 chek owt Goodreads, I don't no wut iz.
I'm obsessed with GoodReads for two reasons: 1, I like to see what other people are reading; 2, I like to scoff at what other people have given "5 stars" while rolling my eyes at their review of that How To Be A Wallflower, or whatever that ridiculous book was called. God, people, read some Proust already!
