hey I'm in Williamsburg. I was in Richmond Friday and Saturday (for a fundraiser/benefit gig and comicon on Saturday).

But why Bill?

To maximize book recommendations

>>9141327

Oh, really? That's neat! Technically I'm south of Richmond in farmland but I go there often enough.

I was actually in Williamsburg recently for Marscon!

Am I the only one who thinks Goodreads has the worst fucking apps? The book cataloguing is great and all but as far as socially goes the apps are bullshit. Messages disappear, friend requests come up multiple times after you approve them, half the time you send messages to yourself, it's fucking God-awful. I've pissed off a dozen people at least by "not responding" and it's almost always on Goodreads.

>To quote Harold Bloom

>>9141341
Sure Bill, sure. So tell us: what kind of books?

>>9141368
I prefer not to speak to others regarding my taste.

i would rather lurk on their profiles

>>9141342
yeah I work in Williamsburg. technically I'm in surry va. I ride the Jamestown ferry back and forth to work. but I'm in Richmond semi regularly. guitar shops...strange matter and the national for shows and of course the fine arts museum there is awesome.

Veronica Roth

I created a shelf to show my mum how to get recommendations

>>9140890
I, too, read The Importance of being Earnest. Sharpe's Tiger was pretty awesome as well, and of course A Christmas Carol (that Jim Carrey movie was pretty accurate, it seemed to me). Macbeth. Night by Elie Wiesel. Of Mice and Men. I read some of The Giver but didn't get to finish it, ended up giving the book to a friend. Hamlet. Diary of Anne Frank. World War Z. 1984.

I read through all the books you've apparently read, and we have these in common. You've read a fuckload more than I have, but then again you've been alive for nearly a decade longer than I have so I guess I've KIND of got an excuse, but I doubt I'll have THAT much read by the mid 2020s. Impressive list.

The app is terrible. I got a notice on my phone that it had crashed over 20 times in the past month, and therefore I should consider removing it. Also, maybe it's just my phone but when scrolling, it constantly mis-clicks on books, instantly marking them as 'read' so that I have to go through their shitty navigation to remove it.

How often do you folks split a collection and shelve each work separately? Most of the time it's obvious to split it, like if it's a Portrait/Dubliners book, but if I'm shelving four 50 page plays in a row or individual Socratic dialogues and so on it just feels like it's inflating my "read" count.

>>9150737
>>9150741
I'm still only in my 20s, but I've been reading since I was a kid, though most of my reading has been in the last 5 years.

>>9150862
Presumably they're only recording things they've read since starting their goodreads accounts.

>>9150989
When you set something to 'read', as in having already been read, then you can put in WHEN you read it. Goodreads probably wasn't around in 2001, but you can see on my chart that I've read at least one book back then, and it was published in the year 2000.
>>9150737
The bottom shows when it was read (not when it was added to Goodreads, unless that's the method they are specifically going with), and the left shows when it was published. Down at 450BC is The Art of War, then there at about 1600AD is a couple books (Shakespeare), and yet more in the mid-1800s (Charles Dickens), etc. There's a substantial gap between roughly 2008-2011 because, quite simply, I didn't really read much of anything back then. I was busy working, and when I wasn't working I was playing videogames or handling/cleaning my firearms, shooting them on the rare, pleasant occasion as well.

I only really got into reading in 2012, and you can see from then until 2016 I've steadily been reading, but I've been working mostly on editing/writing so far in 2017 so while I've read a little, I've yet to finish a book this year. Very unfortunate, but once I do finish this book, I'll have one that was published around 1910 or so. Looks like I've yet to read anything that was written in the 18th century though, so I'll have to look into that. I think 'Rhimes of the Ancient Mariner' was written in the 18th century, so that'll probably be my first. I've got Shakespeare in the 17th century, but as for the 16th century?... I have no clue, off the top of my head. That's right around the beginning of the Renaissance period. There were barely even muskets back then, even before matchlocks.

>>9151042
sorry bro i cant remember when i read something before 2013

>>9151078
I can only really remember the years for most books. I shouldn't be too far off, but due to events in my life it's easy to remember which books I read from May 2016 until the end of the year, and which books I read either April/May 2012. But for the most part, I just put in when I figure the year was, and then it puts the month and day at 1 (Jan 1st).

>>9150741
Notice how, for the most part, all the books are in vertical lines. That's because most of them just have the date as January first, and the years then put them into columns. Undoubtedly I didn't get them all in the proper year, but at the very most they'll be 2 years off, likely only 1 year off. Most of the books I've read were in 2012 and 2016 though, I think, and I'm quite certain I've got those put in their proper years.

>>9151042
Most of the retroactive stuff is not worth it. There is no way I'm adding Star Wars: Tales of the Bounty Hunters and Maniac McGee just so I can have a timeline listing them in 2002.

>>9151341
I included everything I could think about. I also read some of those Mr. and Mrs. books, you know, the ones for kids, and I was also read a few Berenstein Bears books when I was a child, but I can't remember exactly which ones nor could I POSSIBLY try and guess which year in the 90s I read them, so those I'll ignore, but the others I could at least take a stab at what year I read them.

It's sketchy as fuck, considering what website this is, but check out J N Morgan if you guys want to add me on Goodreads. It's just a pseudonym so I suppose it'd be alright.

Do you guys chart books you read in your childhood? There are loads of full-length Roald Dahl and Anthony Horowitz books I read years ago but it feels kind weird including them.

>>9152617
Yes as it increases the number of books I've read and makes me look better. If I'm feeling really self-conscious I uncheck the "add to my update feed" box so no one will know.

>>9152617

I look down on anyone who adds them. I don't add people go get their opinion on fucking Artemis Fowl. And I can only imagine how much that would screw the recommendation algorithm. I wouldn't fault someone who rereads Watership Down or something every other year, but that's different from blatantly padding your shelves with pap.
