Goodreads
Once
you sign up, you will be required to enter a number of books you’ve
read and to rate them, which is actually a very fun process. Next,
connect to Facebook, and you will be able to see the books that all of
your friends who use Goodreads are reading, etc.
Goodreads vs. Amazon: this is why you may want to use Goodreads as a recommendation engine, instead of Amazon:
(1) Because you tell Goodreads what you like, rather than using your purchase history. This means that the books that your wife bought, or those you bought as Christmas presents (e.g. that book on country music you bought your crazy Republican-voting uncle) will not be a factor.
(2) Because you can see what your friends thought of the books being discussed, whose opinion you presumably are more interested in than that of random strangers
(3) It offers nice discussions on books (sometimes multiple discussion strands for each book).
