I think it's useful in keeping track of my reading, and it has optional features like yearly goals and statistical breakdowns that I use to encourage myself to read more.
Reviewers are, by and large, bad, but there are exceptions to that and I often find it interesting to read a different opinion about a book (even, sometimes, when it is the opinion of an idiot).

>>8297486
>It isn't
Yeah it is - the 4th dimension and the 4th spatial dimension are the same concept.
Travelling through time requires travelling through space (max speed: light speed) because information transfer -> spatial change -> time increment. So in other words, each moment documents a particular state.

Side note: I've enabled a challenge question to test out that feature. Feel free to message me on goodreads if you are having trouble with it.
>>8297862
There are crucial fundamental differences between temporal and spatial dimensions that you're missing here senpai. The arrow of time, causation, the different conserved properties from Noether's theorem etc. Time + 3 spatial dimensions gives you the spacetime you use in special relativity, but time is not a spatial dimension; it's a temporal dimension.
>Travelling through time requires travelling through space
I think that's only true for massless particles. From my frame of reference I'm not moving through space at all but still moving through time.

Yeah but everything inside "you" is moving constantly; information is transferred from the outside and back again.
Imagine that "you" exist within a perfect vacuum and have never known anything else. How would you know that you even exist at all, let alone that time passes?
I think the difference between space and time is rather superficial.

"keep track of my reading", what is that supposed to mean? You need to keep a list with all the books you read? You should be able to remember them all if necessary, if you cant remember them, then its obvious they were shit.
I never understood why people use goodreads, it screams of "LOOK AT ME I READ BOOKS", too cringey.
>>8300479
>You should be able to remember them all if necessary, if you cant remember them, then its obvious they were shit.
Maybe I want to remember shit books that I've read. Maybe I'll forget even the good books that I've read long ago. It's just a diary for books, I could write down which books I read in my physical diary but GR is more organized and effective.

Nice to see everybody making some progress on their Reading Challenges. How did you all decide what to set your goal at? My original goal was 52, but after I hit that in, like, April, I bumped it up to 104.
>>8301826
I keep it about the same every year, 100. Some years I hit it, some I don't.
>>8301757
I'll add anyone who sends a request but I only request folks who either have read a lot or write reviews often.

I set my challenge just adding 20 more books every year.
>>8301826
i've been debating increasing it but just under a book a week is enough for me atm. I'm reading a lot more though so maybe i'll bump it up to 50-60
Does anyone else not set reading goals because they'll get depressed if they're not completed? Or am I being overly pessimistic.

I suppose, anon. But there's a limit to how much you can read in a year while still living a relatively full life. Don't aspire to be like the people who reach 1,000 books a year due to being on bedrest.

Reading plays sucks. Pic related, wonderful to consume via film or theater, mind numbing to sit and read through. Just the interruption of the flow via the character names is jarring.
I'm not looking for friends, but does anyone have some obscure or unpopular horror/gothic (19th century) recommendations? Non-english works are also very welcome. Pic for reference, a few of my favorites.
I've perused a few goodreads profiles and tags but I haven't been able to find much in that direction, advice is appreciated!

Actually a 2.5 rating, so somewhere between 'It was okay' and 'I liked it' haha. Gustave Flaubert is probably my favorite author right now, but I found Sentimental Education to be wayyy too slow. So while I appreciated certain aspects of the novel, and what Flaubert attempted to accomplish, it was just ultimately unengaging - especially in comparison to Salammbô and/or Madame Bovary.
