There's a social contract element here; if everyone had private lists, what would be the point? I've got a smallish list of Goodreads cronies and they're apprised of everything I read, and vice versa. Everyone else is welcome to look, because how else would you find new cronies?

I've never cared what others thought about my reading. That's why my reading list is only offline and why I hardly ever share what I'm reading with anybody else but my husband...
