Online retailer Amazon has said it will buy Goodreads, a book discovery and recommendation website. [1]

San Francisco-based Goodreads was founded in 2007, has 16 million members and is one of the most prominent online communities for readers.

Selecting which books you read is immensly important. Not because of what you finally choose. It is the books which you DO NOT select and which you DO NOT read, which at the end determine who you are…

(this is what the “Non Reading” movement mentions as the main factor that should play role in our book education: Knowing the whole “grid” of knowledge in which the books we read are into – not necessarily reading the books)

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
