Geeky is chic-y

It appears that the regularity of my posts in past weeks has gone down the drain now that my free time is no longer defined by me. However, if we look at recent days, I have had some time to blog but my time on blogger seems to have been stolen by another fantastic website, introduced to me by the wonderful Sarah Von at yes and yes:

www.goodreads.com

I cannot quite comprehend the reason for the endless pleasure which the following activities all give: arranging my virtual bookshelf, finding the right cover editions, giving ratings, reviews, creating new categories, answering 'trivia' questions, 'exploring' book lists, adding to my 'to-read' list, and updating the page number of my current read. I have even managed to convince several friends to sign up, so that even the geekiest manifestation of my persona has 'friends'.


People have always told me that my reading habits have contributed to my terrible eyesight, but I suppose I really just have to give in to my not-so-inner bookworm. Anyway, it's becoming common knowledge that geeky is chic-y, isn't it?
