added a status update: Hey Goodreads friends: over the years, I've enjoyed many conversations with many of you, via the direct message function on the site. It sounds like Goodreads is removing this. If you want to stay in touch, just reach out via this function, until it disappears, and I'd be happy to exchange personal email addresses. Cheers!
