You shouldn't, it's a pointless circlejerk.

I find it to be a useful way to keep track of what I would like to read in the medium to long term, and that setting a yearly goal encourages me to read more than I would otherwise.

It has a decent recommendation algorithm and tracking for autists. Also you can collect "friends" from /lit/ and look at them as a means to suave generalized anxiety.

Goodreads is very much a pseud magnet, but it can be a good way to keep track of everything that you've read and want to read. It's literally filled to the brim with circlejerking pseuds, so watch out.

tracking books you've read and logging books you are going to read. it also gives you neat statistics over the course of the year about pages, popularity and whatnot.

dont bother reading reviews. it's filled with pseuds and normies. if you stay in the /lit/ circlejerk you should be ok.

If you filter out the idiots and follow people with genuinely good taste, it's worth following the reviews. I have an overwhelming amount of books on my to read shelf, and it's nice to see others reading them and posting updates, it helps me get hyped for my next read. Goodreads can be nice, but you really need to find people worth following. There are good discussions for certain books as well. The Women and Men group has some chapter discussions worth reading, for example. I unironically enjoy goodreads now that I have ~40 people on my friends list who's tastes line up with mine. Better than Facebook, that's for sure.
