WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.
I've recently started to use goodreads to track what I read and want to read a few months ago. I'm just starting to get into the habit of poorly writing reviews for the books I read.

I've just started Infinite Jest, so likely there will be NO action of this page for a good amount of time.

I think I'm taking a liking to more recent American novelists like Jeffery Eugenidies and Jonathan Franzen. I've no clue what genre that might be. Pretentious lit-nouveau?

I have a serious question of morality relating to goodreads.

Is it immoral to add an omnibus as the individual books so that my book count will be higher?
I didn't want to do this because I felt it would lessen the quality of book recommendations by unfairly weighing anthologies. I have a real low book count, so it's a concern.
