Good Reads

[prosodic]

Well, I joined:

http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/324395

I'm not doing much with it right now. I'm just using it as a place to keep track of the books that I currently have in my personal library, since these books are going to be packed up in another month and a half.

Damn, I have a lot of composition/grammar books. I got most of them from teaching college composition...I have rarely ever used them myself. Lance wants me to save them though, in case he should ever have to take a writing class again. But I may just sell them. They're all basically the same anyway.

I also have a couple of books on American/English usage, left from when I tutored that Greek student. I may give them to Gaby, since she's always asking me questions about English usage. I'll no longer be around for her to ask, so she can have some resources to consult.

I'll almost be starting my library over from scratch. If I fulfill my dream of getting wall to wall bookshelves, I'll have to spend a lot of time at used bookstores. Not that I mind. Books are my crack, after all.

I'll probably get more involved with this site when we're settled into our new place...as if I needed another way to goof off on the interwebs.

Feel free to add me though, if you're on it. I may eventually switch over from Bibliophil, since I've been getting increasingly frustrated with that site. Good Reads seems a little more interactive. But considering my massive reading list on Bibliophil, I'm not exactly anxious to start switching over anytime soon.


ETA: Thanks to those who added me. I've now spent hours on this site adding books, and I'm completely sucked in. I. CAN'T. STOP. And when I run out of books, I'll have to go out and buy more, just so I can add more titles. HAHAHA.

I've also started posting some of my writing on the site.

I've had my eye on the site for awhile (I also looked at Library Thing), but because I have such a massive reading list compiled at Bibliophil, I was reluctant to sign up. But Good Reads is so much better. I just wanted everything documented at one site. Eventually, I'll import my list from Bibliophil.
