/lit/ - Literature

I like it epecially when I see honest opinions on some overrated books

Go back.

It's good to keep track of what you read and add to-read books. I know that some people here swear to DIY Excel sheets, but Goodreads is great for the convenience.

I like the reviews, if you can call that community, but otherwise I haven't dived into the forums

>>13531469
If you unironically use this website you're a pseud faggot.

>>13531488
I use it to track books and to see what friends are reading

>>13531469
It's useful for getting recommendations and tracking all the books I want to read. Can't really say much about the community because I mostly follow /lit/ users, browse their lists and read their reviews.

Plebs everywhere, like the persians from 300

There are no trannies at least. That's good.

Wider community is trash and should never be interacted with. Some cool /lit/ people on there though

>>13531469
The community is mostly shit, but if you add some /lit/ friends you can get a pretty good ideas of what to read next.

can you link some good profiles please

>>13531476
seconding all of this

The book tracking is nice. Watching the "You have read X books this year" counter increment over time unironically motivates me to read more.

My friends who are most active on the site generally fall into the catagories of
1. Reading heaps of pulpy romance books (one girl regularly crushes 50+ of these books a year)
2. Books about feminism, or something about a plucky girl breaking gender norms and starting a successful business, or climbing a mountain or something
3. Thinly-veiled helf-help books by silicon valley CEOs

>>13532506
Make a thread for people to post their profiles in. There used to always be one up.

>>13531902
so exactly the same as /lit/?

>>13532553
Your "friends" sound like fucking losers.

>>13532664
hence why they use goodreads

>>13531469
Who cares about the community. The site is just a glorified booklist tool and it serves that purpose well.

I posted my profile and a bunch of people added me

didn't accept a single one and still friendless fuck your social media

Goodreads Choice Awards 2017

But I still use it so I don't have to remember the name of hundreds of books that I want to read

>>13532866
I was thinking of using another tool in order to fight the antichrist (jeff bezos) but I still didn't find a good one, there is a brazilian one called Skoob, but when I tried, the database on non-translated books was poor and I couldn't even find a way to add new books, even though I was almost certain that it had this option, maybe they changed it in the last two years, but for now I'll keep using goodreads because it's easier

>>13531469
I think it’s nice that people with toxoplasmosis have their own social network.

>>13532866

>>13531469
it's almost depressing reading some of the reviews on there

>>13531469
most of the community is cringe, but the format of the site itself is superb. I just use it to track my books and write out my thoughts upon each completion

Use it purely for tracking book reads, I use other sites to recommend stuff to me or just use /lit/. The reviews on there are too fucking batshit insane to give any sort of proper recommendations; while amusing to read, if you took it seriously you'd never read any good books since they get voted down to 3 and a half stars constantly.

>>13532917
half the world is infected with toxoplasmosis

>>13532506
Mine is Walden1000 and I think it's okay

>>13531469
>tfw no goodreads frens
Why can't I make frens /lit/

Mostly use the website for listing the books I've read and the weird shit I find.

Went hog wild and read 200 books, but most of them were Male & Female romances and comic books. So it's questionable how well read I am.

Dr. Slump was really worth the read through.

>>13532553
I have a friend who has exclusively been reading pro-fascist and white nationalist literature for a year now. Should I be worried?

>>13533627
Eh, not sure. But I've seen too much mental illness symptoms of freakouts so I'd be worried in your shoes.

I had seen a streamer get offensive, post porn on his twitter, have commentary channels tell people this person is mentally ill and stop enabling this! Then the streamer killed himself due to his mental illness.

So reach out with a dumb image of something.

>>13533603
it's probably a good thing if no one on that website likes you

It's nice at times but there's too many fucking boomers on it, like real boomers. It pisses me off to no tomorrow when I read the comments of sometimes well thought out reviews and there's always this one pretentious boomer who left something like "Good one Dave!" or whatever the fuck

I still kind of like it though, just find the 4chan circle, it's not very big

>>13533627
worried that you are friends with such an overt edgy boi? yes

>>13531849
But I'm on there.

>he hasn't found the commie tranny circle

Yeah the "community" is obnoxious similar to the general population of any majorly used site. BUT it is a great tool for tracking and finding similar reads. I never saw the thread someone else was talking about so I started a new thread for anyone that wants to post their username.

>xir hasn't found the dilation station

>>13531469
it's mostly tumblr "i love reading harry potter twilight tlor the list goes on xD" girls
I once saw a one-star review that had that rating because the girl had to read it for a class.

Toxoplasmosis in human is not a legit thing. It's just a fun conjecture without much backing up.

>>13531469
Its hit and miss but I've found some good ones.

some interesting persian on the website actually. only people i follow. One guys some soldier in the army but really into kierkegaard and russian lit. would love to have a drink with him

>>13532969
SJWs love to rig polls and awards to further their agenda. This was a leftard fantasy because that narrative does not exist in the real world no matter how hard the media spins.

>>13533159
I am always baffled by the shit tier books given five stars.
