- I think that a GoodReads page for MCPLD is a great idea. I have heard people express the desire for more book club outlets at different age and interest levels. It would be a good complement to the book blog, providing opportunity for local patrons to interact. However, I haven't done a cost-benefit analysis or looked at the idea with a critical eye.
- AllReaders: The website is unappealing, but a search engine and portal to in-depth reviews is a useful tool. May be a good resource for a certain college student if they can't finish "The Jungle" by Tuesday. Hey, I read it in high school. I just need a refresher.
- LibraryThing: You have your back turned for a second. Reapproaching the counter, you see that a pile of items has suddenly appeared. In fact, it's a stack of your favorite movies and books. Looking around, you consider yelling, "Hey come back! Let's be friends..." but mystery person is gone. This is a website where you can seek out those encounters, and it's creepy.
I would probably join Shelfari--it sounds adventurous--but I know I would rarely get on the site. But hey, I've made the time to check my fantasy football league at least twice a day, so how hard can it be?
Click to view these "Popular Moustaches" in detail. Vote on your favorite--the majority vote gets to join the "angry mob." Minority voters are the ones being chased by the angry mob. Hey, a well-groomed, stylish moustache is no joke.

ReplyDeleteYeah, right. You look at everything with a critical eye.
Interesting that "The Hitler" has never made a comeback. Speaking of angry mobs...
