As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

  • I’ll be honest… I basically don’t track my reading. There are enough metrics in my life that I don’t have control over, that I don’t feel it necessary or useful to apply a tracking to what I do in my spare time. I try to make sure I get the book club book read before the monthly meeting, and otherwise I guess the tracking is the pile of books in the TBR pile and the read pile (and what’s on bookshelves. I figure if I don’t remember a book well enough to recommend it to someone, it was probably fairly forgettable, and if I do it was probably pretty memorable and that’s good enough for me!

    • Yeah this is me. I got enough shit to do besides having to track my media intake. Did that in the past with video games and film. It provided me no benefit and was just another chore to do at the end of the day. If others like doing so, go for it, just not a ‘me’ thing.
