Are there any books that you are hesitant to share on goodreads? I've checked out Mein Kampf, and own a copy of The Turner dairies, but I use books like these to further my education and to get a perspective on how some people think. ( A bit of paranoia on my part, but can't goodreads be used as a possible data base?)
if you don't feel comfortable being tracked don't use social media.
also cool literature thread
>>>/g/
I'm just wondering how others feel, I really like goodreads, but I'm hesitate about "questionable books".

Thousands of people have read Mein Kampf on goodreads

I share everything I read, from YA fiction to classics. Why do you care about what other people think? Just be yourself. I don't care if some stupid fuck mock me for reading YA.
Same goes for Mein Kampf. Are you afraid someone calls you a nazi? Why do you care? You don't have anything to prove.

Mate, last year, I started listening to ISIS music, ordered the Qur'an, ordered a book on ISIS, ordered books on genocide, grew a beard, started learning Arabic, enrolled in an Arabic language minor, took courses on Islam and fundamentalist religion throughout the year, watched Salil as-sawarim, read Dabiq, and I haven't been arrested, notified, or followed to my knowledge. Nobody gives a shit, and even if they do, what of it? You're not a Nazi or a terrorist, right?

Not really, but I hate how it's negatively affecting my reading habbits. I tend to re-read books less often because it doesn't count towards my yearly reading goal

>to my knowledge.
durrr
Like I was saying there's a bit of "unnecessary paranoia on my part" Oh so and so has read this book, instant terrorist. On the other hand it might show your diversity and your will to learn and educate yourself about anything and everything, which may or may not throw up a flag in and of it self. But in the end I'm thinking none of this gets noticed but I still question it, I couldn't care less about what others think, I'm talking about big brother stuff... ehh..

>Salil as-sawarim
The most famous one next to the national anthem, this was made popular by a video of drive by shootings they did in Iraq, claiming them to be soldiers, but all of them wearing civilian clothing

>Ummaty Qad Laha Fajrun
Unofficial kind of official National Anthem

>Akhi Abligh
Sweet tune in general

>Qalu innaha wa'ad
Nasheed made to humiliate the forces of Assad

>Al Qawlu Sawarim
Not sure if this is ISIS, but it's pretty epic, and hilariously enough the guy who made the video used the fucking Mongols for his video, of all people.. The Mongols..

That's a few of them, if you want more, you can check the recommended links, Qariba Qariba and Soraya Dawlati are two other ones.
Something not ISIS, but kind of like it (although background music makes it haram for hardcore sunnis)

You can add books multiple times, so it'll count.

I've read a most of the quran and actually like it more than than the bible but it's another one of those books.

Not isis music, but I find tajweed beautiful when done right.

How does it affect your reading habbits, and I believe in re-reading books, I've read The Idiot three times now and each time I've gotten something different from it.
>>7421602
HA! I like you.
>>7421536
Pretty rare feat that you managed to incorporate so much plebeian mentality, impotence, bitterness and poshlost sensibility in a single line of text.
Bravo man, 10/10.
Try not being vain.

I wish you could just make certain shelves private.
I read a lot of manga and YA, and like to keep track of it, but would rather not share that with everyone.
I don't put erotica on mine
I don't put all the books I read as a teenager on it either
I also don't put textbooks on it

I've been cataloging some religious books I've read/studied in the past (and some I've been looking into again recently). Some of them may or may not reflect my views or beliefs in the past or the present, which have evolved in some personal and difficult ways. I don't especially want religious assumptions, or even any religious discussion really, to enter the picture on my goodreads.
>>7422287
only manga I've read is lament of the lamb, Uzumaki, and working on s-cry-ed.
>>7422309
Why is that, feel it's unnecessary w/ txt books. Not much into erotica but I do have some romance under my belt.
Whats your book count, everything matters in my opinion.
>>7422328
I think I've put the essentials of the kabbalah on mine but not yet with the quran.
>>7422328
But do people ever even comment on your Goodreads, or your reading habits? I mean, my mates will banter about my Islamic studies and Arabic, but I've never had anyone comment on my Goodreads, frankly because I don't think anyone really cares that much. Plus, what's wrong with wanting to study other things? Who can possibly criticize you for wanting to learn?
>>7421304
What did you think of Mein Kampf? If you give it 1 star nobody will blink an eye. If you give it 5 stars, you should probably write a review for it.
>>7421633
If the avoidance of vanity were a goal you actually cared about you wouldn't be posting in a goodreads thread. Social media is a synonym for vanity.
>>7423733
Just add it your your "read" list but don't give it a score
