Seattle bookseller Paul Constant has written an article in The Stranger about the social networking site Goodreads. "The website tore through the Seattle bookselling community like an STD. Soon, every bookseller under 40 was a member. "Will you be my Goodreads friend?" we'd whisper to each other among the stacks. It was like MySpace, only better—it was all about books."M&Q has a myspace page, but as I've said elsewhere in this blog, I just don't get the social networking phenomenon. I'll poke around on Goodreads in the next few days to see if it changes my mind. Is anyone out there a member? Post a comment.--David E
