On Good Reads, the social network for book worms, members can create a profile, review and add books to their list and build a network of friends around the topic of books. While many online retail sites have recommendation functions (If you like X, you may like Y), sharing a ‘good read’ with a friend online will also go a long way for those looking for new books to buy.

Cool, this looks useful. Lord knows that Amazon's equivalent to this isn't exactly amazing.

This sounds neat, I might have to give it a shot. I've been looking for a good way to keep track of what I've been reading - I look back and wonder how many times I've read certain books, or how long it took me to read X, Y, and Z last time...

I know this isn't really the point of Good Reads, but I might actually prefer something that handles a lot of different details like that over another social networking site...anyone have any suggestions?
