Lily Koppel, author of The Red Leather Diary, invited me to Goodreads, a site dedicated to “what your friends are reading.” I don’t have any Goodreads “friends,” as Facebook fulfills my need for electronic distractions, but I did upload my library—including the vaguely embarrassing stuff, the gag gifts, and the like—for the curious or voyeuristic among you.
I feel no great need to point out what might entail “embarrassing stuff.”
EDIT: I switched the “sort” to “random,” which seems more appropriate. In addition, these are cataloged using Delicious Library 2—I didn’t enter each one by hand.
Hmmmm I believe someone else invited you to join Godreads last year and you scoffed at it….
Pointedly not your friend on Goodreads,

How did you export the books from Delicious library for goodreads to accept the list, have tried several and failed…

Patrick—
I sent you this via e-mail, but I’ll leave it here as well for others. To export your Delicious Library to Goodreads, open DL and go from File -> export -> export to another application. You’ll get a window with a bunch of options. You want to export only ISBN numbers. Choose Separate Multiple values with a comma and have a comma-separated delimiter. When you hit export, save the file wherever you wish.
You now have a CSV file.
Now go to your Good Reads account. Click “add more” books, then select “import books” and then click “choose file” from “select a file (csv/xls/txt). Choose the file you just created in Delicious Library. You’ve now imported your DL library to Goodreads. Congrats.

If you do it in this way, do your smart bookshelves also get imported, or only the books themselves?
