The other day, a co-worker introduced me to Goodreads. I already use LibraryThing to keep track of the books that I’ve read, but there are a few things I like about this new system — specifically the social interaction element. You can always find plenty of strangers on LibraryThing who have read the same books as you, but Goodreads lets you see what the people you know are reading, and it lets you compare book lists with one another. It also lets you more easily distinguish between the books you’ve already read and the ones that you’re reading now. (Which is why I don’t even include those books on my LT list.) There are things it doesn’t do well, like widgets for instance, but I’m having fun playing around with it. You can add me as a friend if you’d like to sign up, too.
