I hate Goodreads these days. I still use it, as it's the easiest way to track my reading, but it's been an irritant ever since it materially altered the main page. It's partially because they've increased the space devoted to my own reading and lessened that for my friends, so I have to dig to keep up on them. But it's also the constant affronts; just now a significant portion of front page real estate was taken by the thumbnailed image below.
By all that's rational, just
what algorithm suggests I might want to read that? I would have to try hard to think of something I'd be less likely to read. It's not as if Goodreads doesn't have a boatload of data on my reading preferences, which are overwhelmingly history and literature. And not a single cowboy romance, I might add.
