Reading as a social activity?!?

I may be a little young to start with the "Back in my day" speeches, but back in my day we read alone in well-lit corners and that was good enough. Now things are better, though. This is especially true if, like me, you are the only person your immediate social circle whose world centers around books. Finding other avid readers is not always easy, let alone some who are into the same weird period/genre/obscure authors as you. I do participate in a few book clubs at the Moncton Public Library, which is fun for discovering new authors and talking about them, but it would just be mean to force others to only read and talk about the kind of books I like.

Social reading might be a good solution for me, and I enjoyed the simplicity in commenting and following people on Vision. My discovery for the week, however, was Babelio. After playing around the site for a while, I found it very user friendly and the critiques are serious enough. I will probably be using it from now on.

You can find me on Vision and on Babelio under the user name MathieuLanteigne.
