I find GR excellent for keeping track of 'to-read' lists when a book is mentioned and I want to remember it for future reading or price decrease. I do find the GR interface a bit tricky until I found my own 'pig-trail' of links to update my entries. I try to always comment / review books in a simple paragraph for the sake of my GR friends. They have also purchased and taken over a book-recommendation application (name escapes me) but it isn't online yet after several months. But then my 'to-read' list runneth over so no big deal, I guess.
The sheer number of members is staggering. A recent check on one of my books showed over 25,000 readers which makes the starred ratings fairly reliable, and I like the fact that it is an international group of respondents.
