We had a thread a few months ago that was asking if people were on shelfari.  It degraded into a goodreads love fest.  Just thought I'd drop this with a list of people's names on goodreads where we've got a pretty good group together now.  This is everyone who has posted in the other thread with their user names.

Me: http://www.goodreads.../1652081-justin

It lets you make lots of lists of books, and look at other peoples lists of books, and generally gives the experience of sitting around in a big pile of books and sorting them in different ways, but with some statistics and social networking. Needless to say, I love it.

I'll play! I love this site. Last year around this time I was just thinking I should really sort out all of the books I've read and how great it would be if there was a website to do it... Goodreads was all I could have wanted and more.

Sure I guess. I always wish I'd joined things like this earlier because now I won't remember to add the shit I read recently to it. Is there a group system or do I just friend everybody? I don't see a BwB group on the pages of people I looked at.

Ambyr volunteered to make us a group over there but we decided not to since the only point is for discussions which we just do here anyway.  Although for "keeping track of people" purposes it probably makes some sense.

I keep getting friend requests, but only, like, one of them is from someone who's also posted in this thread. They're all tagged "Westeros" though.

I'm just Justin over there.  My guess is it's all the people I listed in my first post who have already posted their info before.

Am I the only one that almost didn't open this thread cuz it appeared to be an invite to a Tairy club or some shit like that?

Anyways, it sounds like something I need to do, thanks for mentioning it.


ETA: Oooo a new time waster, when I figure out how to work it, I will share my name, don't wanna look 'too' stoopid yanno?

An extremely loaded question.

That is all.
