RevSF editor and good pal Mark Finn mentioned it in his blog<\/a>. RevSF Books editor Peggy Hailey and my sometimes co-writer Paul O. Miles<\/a> both talked about it at our last Dark Forces Book Group<\/a> meeting. Today, I signed up for goodreads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Essentially a social networking site for book lovers, members are encouraged to share their love of reading with others by postings previously read, currently read, and plan to read titles along with a five star rating. The information can be shared through a network of friends, co-workers, and fellow junkies. It’s all quite easy and fun. And it’s pure evil.<\/p>\n

I created my account early this afternoon. After posting 366 books along with ratings and often reviews, I realized my entire day was gone. Beyond a few phone calls, I accomplished nothing worthwhile. Yet, even now I find myself returning to the site, remembering a book that I want to review.<\/p>\n

Goodreads spreads the joy of reading and books with others, simulating one of my favorite past times: recommending books to others. I encourage my fellow book junkies out there to sign up.<\/p>\n

\nJust be warned: It’s pure evil<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n
