A voracious reader, i mostly read fiction. I happen to be a philosophy enthusiast .If there's one genre of books i don't read, it's science fiction;) Well, I am rampantheart on Library thing and Shelfari. Befriend me there!

At times i read books on productivity as well, but i usually tend to read articles on productivity on the blogosphere.

Hi Mark,

Content is the king and if there is any way to get your user back to your blog – that is it. Thought I will share with you my blogpost that I wrote on content. Do share your comments and feedback on it

Yes, yes, yes and yes. For pleasure I read fiction, non-fiction, blogs, The Economist, comics and manga. Also the occasional "art of engineering" book and art books. For work I mostly read technical documentation, but that is often also pleasant (yes, really). I keep a list of the books I finish on my site: http://anaulin.org/wordpress/booklog/

I actually read blogs for pleasure, including this one. Yes I know I am a geek. Thanks.

There's also Goodreads, which is a separate Website which does something similar to what you describe on Facebook.

Re: ct. to Lucy Nixon above – do fictional e-books feel much different that the paper kind while reading?

I don't have an e-reader of any kind (I don't count my laptop PC), although it's pretty obvious where I read blogs.

Good point about fiction – I wonder how much e-reader consumption is non-fiction vs. fiction.

Just finished up Angels and Demons. Good read. I really like the book application on Facebook. It allows me to see what my friends are reading and pic books based on their recommendations and reviews.
