Goodreads is a leading book-focused social networking site with over 10,000,000 members.
"Goodreads users recommend books, compare what they are reading, keep track of what they've read and would like to read, find their next favorite book, form book clubs and much more."

The website cleverly links you to other readers with similar reading tastes, providing a good way to learn about new books you might like. As a member you can give books a star rating from one to five and write a short review. You can also create your own virtual book shelf.
You don't have to become a member to make use of the website though, many features such as book lists and reviews, are available to non-members too.
