In the old days, the search for new reading idea wasn't too easy for me sometimes. Not many of my friends and workplace pals share my literary passion. I would often resort to NY Times book reviews for ideas, but I found my own personal taste didn't always match with what was popular.
I have slowly caught up with the internet age, although I resisted for a while, but one of the best websites I've found is Goodreads. It's almost as if it is a custom tailored website for exactly what I like to use the internet for. I like the social element of it more than other social networking sites on which so many posts come that are unrelated to my interests.
I have gotten some of the best suggestions ever from this site for reading. Some of these books have changed my life. I have even been inspired to start writing myself, and I'm working on an e-book. They have an awesome writer's program which helps authors network with potential readers which I plan to use.
I'm really excited that Goodreads is coming to Kindle Fire. I will be on it all the time!
When I need guidance and inspiration I also love to search their quotation database. You can search by keyword or by author.
