I had added Goodreads to my blog last month since other FRL folks were already in there and had started a group. I still haven't added a whole lot of books other than what I'm currently reading, but I'm in the process of going through my Friends shelves, and adding books of theirs that I've also read, or hope to read.
This is a great way to keep up with what I've read; I've noticed as I scroll through other peoples' books that I'm reminded of books I read years ago- I might never have thought of them otherwise, and this makes me want to go back and re-read some of those books!
One thing I don't like is that as I'm browsing other books, I can't tell right away if I've already added a book to my own shelf. Another thing I don't like is that when I hit the "add to shelves" button, the book doesn't necessarily get added- I realized this after clicking on dozens of books, thinking I was adding them!
In looking for a book I had never heard of yet, I happened across Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind. In reading the reviews I realized it is also a movie, so I checked that out, and remembered seeing a trailer for the film. Anyways, I'd like to read AND watch the story.

I think it's better to be "Well Read and Naughty (sort of)" than "Well Read (sort of) and Naughty". Haha. Don't mind me -- I think the stifling Computer Lab air has affected my brain...
I heartily agree!
You're right about the stifling air here- I would never normally use the word 'heartily'!
It's weird that Good Reads isn't showing you what you've added. When I browse books, it shows my rating for ones that I've already added. I'm sorry it's causing you some problems--hopefully it will work itself out because it's such a great site!
Well Read and Naughty...sounds familiar. :)
And about Perfume: you're in luck! I have a brand-spanking-new copy of that book. And it's wonderful. I think I read it in about a day it engrossed me so much. I can bring it any time.
