/lit/ - Literature

I wish good reads had half star ratings

>>4521464

Yes. Also, their system isn't good at dealing with rereads.

Using Goodreads is like collaborating with the Nazis. Eventually someone's gonna shave all your hair off and call you a pleb.

>>4521533

I fear for what 4chan represents, then.

>>4521450

Needs a bump.

Just made it. I feel I've read more than what I've listed. Although I haven't added anything I've read 10 years ago, which is the Harry Potter series and stuff like that.

Excuse my lack of that pretentious post-modern /lit shit though *cough*

I hope you're not threatened by that.

Hmm I have no idea why my message copied the link.

>>4523166
please be in Rotterdam

This is the MAL equivalent for us. Don't post this trash - it has nothing to do with lit.

>>4523176
>MAL

Maintaining book collections and discussing books online, nope, nothing to do with literature or /lit.

>>4523180
That's what /lit/ is for you fucking imbecile. If you want attention that bad just use a trip.

>>4521582
>I fear for what 4chan represents, then.
that's the point, you're supposed to be simultaneously fearful of and addicted to this website

That /lit/ group looks pretty dead.

http://goodreads.com/red_wine

Needs updating though

>>4523181

If I had wanted attention I would've posted my boobs online, not my books.

>>4523259
can you do both?

So what do we do in threads like these? We just send creepy friend requests to people who seem like they have not-so-shit taste or am I getting this wrong?

>>4523290
Basically, yes.

>>4523292
Yeah okay I'm going to add the French girl with the Dylan Moran pic who's reading fucking Hakim Bey then.

>>4523296
make sure you are in the /lit/ group before you add anyone.

I'll never get this thing up-to-date, but here ya go:

>>4521526
Oh god, this and this.
And also, the way it automatically lists a book as having been read in January when you only specify the year.

>>4523181
>Maintaining book collections
>That's what /lit/ is for

So do you have to have the 4chan pass to unlock the book cataloging and shelving features?

>>4523184
>that's the point, you're supposed to be simultaneously fearful of and addicted to this website
Well, mission accomplished then.

i was explicit warned to avoid any contact with the goodreads community... i have 0 friends there (besides those fb/botne)t ones

>>4523339
I don't really interact with anyone on there. Some people added me, but I never once communicated with them. I only use it for my to-read shelf.

H-hey guys, f-feel free to a-add me.

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/10571335-hk

I would fucking use Goodreads if it wasn't fucking IMDB of book ratings.
;_;_;_;

>>4523345
>Goodreads
>IMDB of book ratings

In terms of ratings, it's not even as good as that. It is good for other things, though, like tracking your reading, and I think the recommendation system is getting better.

>>4523364
The recommendation system seems to be the only reason to use it because

my friends dont read books lol

>>4523364
I'm not sure how long I'll go before I actually need a recommendation system besides /lit/.

>>4523376
100% of my bookshelf is from /lit/. I dont know if that's sad or good.

I have absolutely no idea where to get recommendations/long discussion going on about books in certain style.

So /lit/, who's your Goodreads crush?

I use the site mostly to keep track of books and give everything 3 stars if it wasnt very shit or very great

>>4523596
>Zamenhof's profile data is set to private.

>>4523824
Oh shit, sorry. Forgot I had it locked down. Should be fixed now.

>>4523621
CAPSGUY because of his reading rate.

>>4523329
you are cute and love joanna newsom wow i would kiss you

How come Knut Hamsun's Hunger is on there?

I've never seen it discussed before

>>4523621

Hadrian.
The dude reads so much, probably has no job.

where is your picture taken?

>>4524773
Big Bend National Park

>>4523333
So now you're just showing off all the books you own? my point stands - pick up a trip if you're that desperate

>>4523859
how new

>>4524797

No idea where any of that came from.

How is Bleeding Edge? Is it worth joining in on the group's monthly reads?

While we are talking about Goodreads: Did you really let the /lit/ group die off again?

>>4525488

I'm not a member of the group myself, partly because I get my fill of /lit/-level discussion here. I wonder whether a group on goodreads is somewhat redundant or whether it does have something extra to offer. I would welcome feedback from any members of the goodreads group.

bumpu

>>4525879
There is the monthly read too.

>>4525879
bump, because I'm interested in talking some more about thi as well.

The /lit/ group had a great read going but they took on too much, starting with a big read at the same time as they keep the normal read. Also in the end they had weird choices for books.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1684000-revival-short-story-circle

Started a shot story thing. Join in.

is goodreads good in any other sense than maintaining a list of what books you've read?

cause I registered once, cause I saw people on my fb using, but these people are like "Harry Potter: 5 stars", "Brothers Karamazov: 2 stars", I can't trust them. And, from what I've seen, the charts on the website can't be trusted cause the majority of people are like that. :(

I have 0 interest on creating a list to show off that I read a lot and whatnot, I'd only join if there are fruitful discussions and good charts/recommendations :(
(although /lit/ is kinda enough for both already)

>>4529625
sounds like you're a pleb

>>4529632
a picky pleb, though

No one interested in Short stories?

>>4529797

Good sir, which authors do you have in mind?

>>4529804
I'm thinking it's up for discussion. But anything really, as long as it keeps some kind of quality.

One short story a week or every two weeks shouldn't be hard.

>>4529814
Isn't there a short story collection picture that usually goes round here on 4chan?

>>4521450
Sauce for image?

>>4529862

Just google image that shit

just updated from a long, long hiatus.

>>4529723

Nope, I'm anonymous on 4chan.

>>4530507

I assume your name has to do with your affinity for the middle east/etc? Are you ethnically that? (i know berbers are in N. Africa and are not middle eastern)

>>4530131

Where is your picture from?

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/23578098-g1

>>4530507
i used 'Berber' as in ethnicity/nationality.
Let me ask in a different way, is this you?
