I never discuss books with anyone I know in my daily life except one brother who also reads. Long ago I learned not to invite the opinions of others about my reading habits.
I tracked books read on Goodreads for over a year before acquiring any friends, most of them from MR. I love seeing what they are reading and their ratings. I appreciate the "what are we reading" thread on this forum because of the many good recommendations. Many enjoyable books have come to my attention that I would have otherwise missed. I post less than half the books I read on that thread, mentioning only the ones that are outstanding or that someone else has mentioned.
The great thing about MR and Goodreads is that we can come out of the closet about our love of books. I love to hear what you are reading.
