Goodreads community

I'm staggered by the numbers involved and by the enthusiasm for reading generally.
Reading is such a solitary pastime and we seem to get lost in our own "Dreamtime" as our indigenous population calls it in Australia.

But looking into Good reads wakens us to a new community and points in directions to read books we may never have thought of.
