This. It's why I love Goodreads. I don't share a lot, or write public reviews, but I love reading other people's thoughts and following similar tastes, to get recs.

I use the Currently Reading feature, and sometimes add my own little progress notes in there, only to keep personal track of what I've read, when, and what I thought about it.
