The goodreads page can be opened in (multiple) browser(s) without issues, from mine and other computers in the network.
@neonatus - have you tried the following
  1. Disable firewall, disable AV, check router settings for any anomalies and then run calibre and do a quick test - does this PI work?
  2. Put a goodreads url into one of the Manage Authors->Author Link properties, and put a goodreads url into a comment - try to open the pages by clicking on them in Book Details - do they work?

    Also paste those URL's onto your desktop - do they work from there ?
  3. Adjust metadata download settings to be Goodreads only, now do a metadata download on a book you know is on Goodreads - does it work ?

Those tests should be enable you to isolate the underlying cause of your problem - maybe you could post the results and your conclusions here.
