This is a manufactured controversy and you’re the PC police.

Savage. Savage savage savage savage savage. Savage. Voldemort.

that’s just because the whole groups shrank

People giving and/or HEAVILY recommending things for you to read is that a.) they are invariably books I do not want to read and b.) I often *don’t* enjoy them, just as I suspected I would or c.) I occasionally *do* enjoy them but I can’t let the person who gave/recommended the book know that otherwise they get this…

But then again the thing with Disqus is that there are the people who use Disqus.

I have a certain opinion about this.

Hi, firefighter here: Where is Rob Lowe’s:

That’s not a new idea. Supposedly it was the founding idea of the magazine: A magazine for middle-class, middle-intelligence people (like me) who are under the impression they are secretly reading something for upper-class, upper-intelligence people.

No swords, no guns,…

THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS!

Yeah yeah yeah: But how about the $5.95 Asparagus Water, how’s that doing?

See my comment above. Most of Goodreads seems like people logging their progress through huge, bloated fantasy or supernatural romance series. Take away ‘sex with werewolves’ or ‘wizards’n’shit’ and there wouldn’t be much of Goodreads left.

Goodreads is like a Barnes and Nobles (or Borders) bookstore: Like 5% ‘actual’ books, 95% people reading their way through 5- or 7- or 23-book Supernatural Romance series.

Steinbeck’s The Pearl is like 50 pages.

Bumblebee is the Logan of Transformers films.
