A fine site with the mission of “making reading fun again.” If reading ever stopped being fun I hadn’t noticed, I must have been busy reading. Snap.
Founded last year by the software engineer and entreprener, Otis Chandler, Goodreads.com is a community of reading friends who recommend and discuss books. As Otis says, he’d “rather turn to a friend rather than any random person, bestseller list, or algorithm” for a reading recommendation. Overall, the site is navigable and has a nice bookish feel to it. As for the quality of suggestions, well, Otis is currently reading My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla. I’d read that.
