Books on the Nightstand discussion

I thought this article was interesting and wanted to share:

"Our personal information has always been the toll exacted by social media for engagement; for me, and other regular users, Goodreads continues to perform a different, complementary purpose to other services, one that feels less like a waste of time and more like a meal for the brain."
This article touches on my own ambivalence about social media. I don't know where else I can find people who read as much as I do, so I'm willing to sacrifice some privacy.

Thanks for sharing this link. Since Amazon bought Goodreads, the site seems/is more commercial (e.g. promoting the purchase of books), but I still enjoy the benefits. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
