GR is a great site for keeping track of what you have read over the years, it's the reason I joined. I also like how you can see what 'real' people think of books and not critics who are getting paid to review the book for a newspaper/magazine.
I know when I reivew books I can be a little harsh but I want to speak my honest thoughts and not dance around with flowery words..lol. Also reviews good or bad can act as a reminder for future novels put out by these writers. If it's worth investing time in picking up a book of theirs or not.
Overal GR is for personal use but since I joined I've seen other books I'd like to read. I also enjoy the site because the friends I have IRL read very different books to myself, ones I don't often enjoy.
