I've been using this approach for many days and cleaning out my tags using only Goodreads as tags source and it's great, but there's one thing that I'm not sure...
I have a lot of spy novels tagged as Espionage. Fetching Goodreads tags, none of these have the Espionage tag. You'd believe that John le Carré's Smiley series would be tagged as Espionage but no, they are tagged only as Mistery, Thriller.
If I, on the other hand, also use tags from Google, I get Espionage, but I also get a lot of nonsense and most of the time, the author's name or the series' name as tags, which I do not want.
EDIT: On second thoughts, maybe Espionage is not the right Goodreads tag to use. Looking at the books listed in this category -
http://www.goodreads.com/genres/espionage - brings some surprises: Ally Carter? Dexter? Granted, there's a couple of Daniel Silva and John le Carré books in there but most of them don't strike me as "classic spy novels"
