It sucks. If I was going to use Goodreads I’d go right to Amazon which has much more content.

Personally I am badly craving a service that can make a good landing page for any book. (I read some book, I want to share it with you.). Amazon might practically be the best. I like that WorldCat can find books at your local or Uni library. Some books are at Gutenberg or Open Library or the like. A lot of books I like are obscure and if there is going to be a review I’ll have to write it.

It’s one of the many ideas I might do something about if I wasn’t already swimming in side projects.

What do you think of this?

We only do books people recommend, but I've tried to make that a tribute to the book.

Doesn't Amazon own Goodreads? I think its decline is an example of enshittification.
