I read multitudes

[cjsmith]

I'm discovering that if I'm going to be finicky about using Goodreads to record every book I read, I'm going to want an alter ego on there.

Yeah, I'm slow on the uptake sometimes. :)

Goodreads has been adamant for years that they will NOT create a way to make a "shelf" (or your reading status of a particular book) private. And I'm not sure I need people knowing I've read up on embarrassing medical conditions or self-help topics or bedroom activities.

I suppose at least it boosts their apparent user base. :)

oh, good point! wonder if there's some sort of self-hostable alternative available.

AFAIK, LibraryThing seems to be the preferred second choice platform.
