Goodreads
 Some of us, when asked what we're reading, like to flaunt Flaubert, parade Proust, or highlight Hegel. Others will happily cop to Danielle Steele, Dan Brown, or any one of 15 "Garfield" anthologies collected since junior high. The point is, how cool is it to let everyone in on what strange and wondrous worlds we're visiting? Goodreads enables that communication. Just search for the books you're reading (or have read) rate them, and invite your pals to take a peek and comment. And they'll do the same for you. Easy. Eventually, you and your book buddies will form an online community of readers, and the site can alert you when anyone notches another novel on his belt. You can also join a literary discussion via the Goodread's message boards or even post your own writing. So remember, reading: good and good for you.
