[gui-talk] Good Reads confusingto me

[Joel Deutsch]

I received an invitation from some3onee to join Good Reads and see his 
latest book pics, and I've heard of Good Reads, so I overcame my reluctancwe 
and followed the link in the email.

Well, the page I ggot bragged that I could join via Yahoo, where3e I have an 
account but seldom go, and I'd heard of this approach before.

So I signed up on the page pr43esented, and that took me about 20 minutes. 
Not because of mistakes I made in this case, but I think because Jaws 
behaved oddly with the form fields and I had to keep redoing it until I ggot 
in.

So I'm taken to what must be the home page of Good Reaeds. It's got search 
boxes galore (imagine Jaws 11 beeping at me constantly as I try to navigate 
the page), but nowhere could i find this fellows favorite books list, and 
the pages kept mentioning Gmail and Facebook, and it felt as if I were on 
Facebook, i     arrowed down, and soon I was arrowing tyhrough searches i'd 
made everwyhere freom BARD to Amazon and even a Google search or two. What 
gives? Where the H was I?

AntAnyone here familiar with Good Reads who can tell me how to proceed? For 
the time being, I don't want to accumulate "friends" sorta like you do on 
Facebook, and i    have no interest in posting book titles, myself. I just 
wanna see othr people's blogs or lists or whatever is on this site.

HHelp. A little education, please. This is maddening. I'd had only casual 
intentions, and now I've wasted an hour messing around because some guy 
whose  name I'm not sure I actually remember sent me an invite to join, the 
way you get friend invitations in email every time somebody on Facebook that 
you may have emailed with oncee uses that friend finder feature.

Ack. Triple Ack. I feel like throwing this dear little computer at the wall.

Yes, I did do a Jaws repair, but that didn't clarify anything. j/k
