Anyone on/use Good Reads?

You can keep track of books you read and there's forums and stuff and you can recommend stuff to your friends who are on it. Plus you can follow authors, who sometimes do blogs and giveaways. IT'S FUN.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

I am really bad with keeping up with it. I always mean to, but I forget. And I have a bad habit of dropping books halfway only to return a few months later to it.

No, I don't use it. I'm old and don't understand what it's for.

YES A DON'T LIKE BUTTON WOULD BE USEFUL.

I don't know what Grindr is. I don't do things that skimp on vowels.

I agree, a Don't Like button would be good. It seems like something you'd install when you installed a Like button. Because it's not like when you install a sink you just install hot water. You install hot and cold water. It seems like you'd install a Like and Not Like button at the same time. That's all I'm saying. No judging.

Yeah, I just think it's unfair to force someone to like a page just so they can Unlike it. It is extra work that we frankly shouldn't need to partake it. That is one less click that I can use elsewhere that I am wasting on a Like for a post that I am ultimately going to Unlike.

It's one thing to see a bunch of people at the bottom of your post who like it, but I want to see people who specifically don't like it. Like this post would probably say AR and Shiki like this post, DJ doesn't. Showing approval is one thing, but showing disapproval can be so much more powerful. Just think about Ghandi. He really didn't approve of the British and kept clicking the Don't Like button until they all went home. Everyone deserves that voice.
