Goodreads

Do any of you know about Goodreads? I want to put in a plug for it here because I think it's really cool and want more of my friends to use it. It's a social media site all about reading. You can rate books that you read or have read in the past and the site will generate recommendations for you based on your reading history and ratings. You can add friends and get a stream of updates like on Facebook about who just read what, what they rated it, read their review of it (or hundreds of other reviews of it). You can create to-read, currently reading, and already read lists and view your friends lists. Or you can just search for books you want to read on listopia by genre, popularity, ratings, etc. If you are a reader (who isn't a reader? that doesn't really make sense to me unless of course you can't read) you should check it out. And add me as a friend!

Also, seeing as I'm am a late comer to the blogging world (I always have been late on technological trends--texting, facebook, a phone that doesn't look like it's from the 80s, all the way back to gigapets in elementary school) I would like some recommendations on what blogs you like/follow/read. Give me a list please! Cooking, fashion, political, photography--whatever. I've stumbled upon a few and I know there have got to be some great ones out there.
