Geek vs less-than-geek
While updating my GoodReads book listing, I took a photo of the bookcase (on the other side of the room), and started going through the books in the photo, one by one, adding them to GoodReads. Jeanette walked in.
(paraphrasing)
Jeanette: What’s that?
Me: What?
Jeanette: That, on your screen.
Me: (explaining)
Jeanette: You are so weird.
Me: Why? How would you solve the same problem? You can’t see the books from here.
Jeanette: I’d probably look at the books, remember only the ones that mattered to me, that I enjoyed reading, and only list those.
Me, I didn’t even consider using GoodReads for anything less than a full listing of all my (non-embarassing) books.
