> As an avid Goodreads user, Id say 80-90% of active GR users are female teenagers.

Lol, I would have said "50yo vanity-obsessed male geeks" instead, judging by the activity in my feed.

I recently made a bit of an effort to use GR a bit more, to go through some of the challenges and increase my reading rates. The anglocentrism is tiring, though - all the "best" lists are dominated by mediocre Anglo writers. If I remember correctly, when "social lit" sites first exploded, they had basically segmented by language - I know Italians used Anubii rather than GR, for example. I picked GR because I was still somewhat in love with the anglosphere, I think I'm ready to move to something a bit more "i18n", but it's not clear what that might be.

If you want good lists, should look at shortlists for book prizes. Some are really good e.g. The Man Booker Prize.
