I started my Google Reader and I have to agree with Abby's blog on the subject- I prefer to see the websites themselves. I've found it visually unstimulating, and that's part of the fun of reading online- all the artwork and backgrounds that enhance the reading experience. I have to admit, even as an adult, books with pictures get my attention first!
I can understand the convenience of a site like this, and I can see where it can come in handy for getting the most recent information, especially from various news sites. What I would like to do is find something on the order of the Times Bestsellers list for spanish books. I'd be interested in up to date information on popular titles that we should be adding to our collection.
I see that the Reader can be added to our blog... I need to take a minute to figure that out because it's probably fairly simple; I just haven't noticed the right buttons yet.

Yup yup. I agree. :) I can see using it more for news feeds rather than websites that I enjoy visually. Still, I think I'd rather just use my trusty ol' bookmarks instead.
You could be Miss January! ;)
I had never even thought about adding bestseller lists/book reviews to my RSS feeds before we started this program. Then people started suggesting it and I'm so ready to do this to keep up with the popular materials. I'm so excited about everyone's great ideas!
