Good Reads, Anyone?

Does anyone else here read in their free time? Would you like a way to keep track of what you've read, what you're reading, and what you want to read? There's a good site where you can record all this information about books. It's called Good Reads:
http://www.goodreads.com/
If anyone is interested in what I've been reading, you can find my profile/list here:

That's a neat one!

Hey, don't knock it! Jane Eyre is one of my favourite books. I just haven't picked it up since page 20 because I've been reading other things... I'm in chapter 7 or 8 in my poisons book now... and I've had to read a handful of other books for book clubs. As soon as I polish off the book of Poisons, I'll get back into it... Unless, of course, I find where my husband put our copy of the 3rd installment of Fablehaven.

I wasn't knockin', I get distracted too.
I was stunned when, at long last, I finished Anna Karenina!!

Took me FOREVER to read Wuthering Heights.... that was one I picked up when I was 14. I just finished it last year. Haha. (Of course, I started over...)
Something similar happened with my copy of Camus' "The Plague".... got half into it... haven't picked it up since. My bookmark is still where I left off. I should probably start that one over at some point.
(Unfortunately, teasing doesn't translate into text... I didn't think you were knocking Jane.)

I read a lot, I've just been reading the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth. Both were good. I hadn't seen this site, but it looks like a cool idea. Almost a Facebook for books type of thing. I'm going to explore it more.
