Yes, those books may appear on the "top must read" user-voted list, but that just means it's highly popular, not that goodreads is primarily about those books.
I'm on goodreads and have joined a couple groups there. There are many different groups, and you may find one you like. I'm in a couple fantasy and sci-fi oriented ones, but they're not into supernatural stuff (I picked them for that reason). After spending some time discussing books with other people in the groups, I found some people who have similar taste to me, and I poached from their book lists
Depending on your tastes, you might like something like goodreads'
