"The Fear - The Last Days Of Robert Mugabe"

Just wondering if anyone here uses Goodreads? Might be kind of fun to compare books and find something new to read! ^-^

I use goodreads sometimes. They're a pretty good gauge because the people there are pretty snobby and critical, so they provide well thought out reviews. I've found that a goodreads score is almost always one star less than the amazon score, which I've always thought kind of funny.

I haven't really noticed the scores being low but maybe you're right. As for some users being snobby and critical... yes, you're probably right. Some reviews are downright pretentious. But even so there are loads of nice users and since nobody wants to talk about books in real life I think it's a nice place!

Ha, unless your entire social life revolves around a university literature department, then it's hard to find people who want to talk about something other than books!

I've tried unsuccessfully (twice) to organize reading groups on this site, I haven't had much luck :p.

Try again! That sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

As for me, I just finished Brokeback Mountain. I didn't like it very much...

I like it too. When I say snobby and critical, I mean it in the best possible sense.
