You should never judge a book by its cover. Covers of books can be misleading and do not always represent what the book is about. That is why I have joined the social networking group called Goodreads.
Goodreads is for people who enjoy reading books of any genre. Once you have read the book you then leave a comment of what you thought the book was about and if it affected you in any way. There is also an option of giving the book a star rating out of 5. If other people feel differently about the same book you read, they can upload their comments to. On the website you also have the option of purchasing books either by hard copy or for an e-reader.
As this is the first time I have been on this site, I feel very intimated. I keep getting lost among the different headings and then subheading, not been able to figure out where I am supposed to go. The space of this site is very daunting and I cannot find a site map to help guide me. Like the one that was shown in the lecture of James Cook University’s website (Dr Petray). The cyber-flaneur begins their journey without a spatial sense of cyberspace, gaining orientation in the space as they go forth and acquire a mental map of relevant sites (Barnes, 1997). No doubt the more I familiarise myself with the site the easier it will be to navigate around and the space won’t seem so daunting.
