How many of you are on GoodReads? Or any of the few other sites that allow you to keep track of what you've read and share your reviews with friends?
I'm on GoodReads and I've got a question for ya: Do you only rate books you've read recently? Or within the last, say, 10 years? Or do you not have a cut-off point, and rate even books you read as a little kid?
I ask because I rate everything - and it has been brought to my attention that some books I loved as a teenager might not stand the test of time, and some books I hated at one point I might actually enjoy today -- so my star ratings might not be an accurate snapshot of my current reading tastes.
Does that matter? I suppose it would if you were interested in GoodReads' new if you like such-n-such, you'll like that-n-this matching program. I might miss out on a book I'd like based on an opinion I formed back when I thought boys had cooties.
I have a To Be Read pile taller than my dresser, though, so getting more reading material really isn't a problem for me.
But I'm curious how other people approach this conundrum. How far back do you rate?
