I signed up for goodreads some time ago but I haven't really done anything with it.

goodreads.com is a social networking sort of site for people who read.

You can mark and rate which books you've read and post reviews if you like to do that sort of thing.

I like that sort of thing, so I have reviewed a lot of books ... pretty much everything I've read over the last two years.

Ok - I joined and I friended the wolf!

wolf · 11-02-2011, 03:08 PM

Accepted, and you're on my "top friends" list.

There are some fun groups to join, too ... some genre based, some general. I'm in a couple that are a lot of fun. I'll send you invites. One of them shows as a "closed" group that's not accepting any new members, but if you sign up tell the mod you're a friend of mine.

DanaC · 11-04-2011, 04:03 PM

presumably the aforementioned 'devil aliens'...

I finished A Dance with Dragons about a week ago.

Not what I'd hoped for, not at all.

I am now reading Doctor Who - The Seeds of Death (nearly done Troughton!!) and the sequel to Mercury Falls, Mercury Rises, by Robert Kroese.

After it was referred to here (on the Cellar, not this thread) I bought a cheapo copy of Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Not all that impressed. It's very thin, dated and doesn't have much depth.
Yes, it is the Paris Hilton of real-life-stories.

I did get it for 99p plus postage, and it filled a gap in my education.
And you can't put a price on that.
Well, you can. But it's cheaper second-hand.
But unusual and therefore fun to read a book set in Australia. I think the last one I read was by Nevil Shute

Also read The Palace of Varieties by James Lear.
I think I now have all of his books, mostly bought cheaply from America.
All gay porn. But all well written.
I might start reading his mainstream novels now (under a different name).
