Borges!!!! He was the writer that motivated me to start reading again last year. Absolute genius 👏

I'd recommend StoryGraph over Goodreads. Has some nifty descriptions and ways to see what readers similar to you are reading. It's also independently owned

Thank you, looking forward to seeing what you are reading. Happy New Year

There is also Fable, which is really useful for book clubs and has a Spotify like wrapped feature that’s pretty cool

You can import your Goodreads data into StoryGraph quite easily.

I have to finish all the stories, it's an absolute masterwork and it makes me so happy being able to read it in Spanish.

I like Storygraph more that Goodreads by a large margin. I like that it gives me data I'd otherwise have to compile myself and Goodreads really just feels like an additional Amazon storefront for books that tricks you into thinking its a social platform. I'm not using Storygraph for its social features so I can't comment on those, but as a solo reader who is just looking to kind of off-load the tedious parts of data accumulation, it works great and has way less "CONSUME.COSUME." noise associated with it.

A couple of people I know use storygraph, which is independently owned, whereas Goodreads is owned by Amazon, I believe. They have similar features. I suggest checking it out.

Wow amazing! I absolutely love Borges! His stories are honestly unparalleled. I always have my (battered) copy next to my desk

Ficciones is a great collection! Read it just a few months ago and the range of stories and styles is incredible

Great choice! This collection is probably one of all-time faves. Happily jealous you get to encounter them for the first time!

I'm asked all the time if I have a Goodreads account so that people can follow along with what I'm reading. So, I decided to start one. I'll see if I like using it this year and then decide if I want to continue into the future.
If you want to see what I'm reading, quick ratings of books, etc. you can find me here: www.goodreads.com/user/show/184816038-jared-hender…
This is the first book I'm reading in 2025.
EDIT: A few people encouraged me to try the StoryGraph (mostly to avoid Amazon), so I'll also give it a shot. I was worried that the StoryGraph didn't have enough users to make it worthwhile, to be honest. But if it works, I'll use that instead of Goodreads.
Here's my StoryGraph profile: app.thestorygraph.com/profile/jaredonline
