I tried to befriend you, but your question wouldn't allow me. I asked a question back (Is it African?)

Crap I already forgot. But at least I was close the first time!

You created a monster!!! I just created an account and added 117 books! 117!!!! (Granted, a lot of those are children's books I want to remember are awesome for when my niece is born. But still.)

I like it a lot better than Shelfari. The fake bookshelf thing with Shelfari was driving me crazy. Goodreads is awesome.

And, it finally gave me a place to bitch about my love/hate relationship with the Twilight books... and a couple other books that got on my nerves.

Man, going through all those lists of books with cover images was better than flipping through my high school year book.

Though I guess the fact that I had more fictional friends than real friends in high school probably contributes to that a little.

Well, I don’t care for both and decided that such people can’t give me any useful recommendations. I think all the services are very much American centred, well nothing wrong with it, just not my cup of tea.

When I visited, there were two lists being shown: One was of THE BEST BOOKS EVER, and the other was THE WORST BOOKS EVER.

Twilight was on both of em.

So Goodreads is good by me!

I'm trying to figure out more capabilities of the group so we can do some fun stuff, if anyone has any ideas let me know.

pshrynk · 02-27-2009, 08:35 AM

I'm still trying to find time to go and enter all the books I want to enter.

OMG. I just found this thread and checked out GoodReads.com. I'm hooked already.

I've spent some time now entering books. Seems a lot easier than I remember Shelfari being. I'm only entering what I have as an ebook. There is no way I'm entering over 2,000 pbooks.

I found it pretty easy to add the ones I did. If you've read multiple books by an author, you go to their page and click click click. Later I browsed some of their lists and clicked books I read.

I really like how you can search Amazon to find your books, makes it a lot easier...

I'm already at ~350 books added (that I've read) and I've been working on it for two hours.

Is anyone else on this site? BOb, I think it was you. It's all your fault!!!

I'm there! I don't have anywhere near all I've read or am reading on it, but I'm there... I get lost in there every now and then and have to make myself back off.
