Intellectual gamerscore? Basic statistics.
What did you think of the "intellectual gamerscore" idea? A system that shows the number of books read, reading, hold, etc? Would increase retention, and I'D love it! Kind of a "how well read are you?" indicator... I posted about this in the on site comment box. Id like to know your thoughts. Im all about keeping track of statistics!

Inappropriate?I really dig this idea and it would make a great homepage when the site comes out of private beta.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Possibly things like points for rare books (e,g, you're the only one who has that book entered), or possibly even scoring your whole collection where the score for an individual book is proportional to how little people have it listed. Popular books would get you nothing, unique books would be worth bonus points.

Inappropriate?@palfrey I like where you're going with that a lot. I'm going to definitely take that into consideration as I build out the recommendation stuff as well.
Really like the "most rare" idea!

Inappropriate?I really like this idea, it could also be propogated on things like forums, facebook, and the like.
That's pretty much how I discovered last.fm back in the day. -
Inappropriate?How many points do I get for reading the entire Dr. Seuss library? The Hungry Little Caterpillar? This is a great idea, but I'm wondering if Amazon lists data regarding the general difficulty of a book. I'm guessing they at least label something as children, adult, etc. I'd give more points to someone who's read (and understood) the entire Feynman Lectures than someone who's read all of Harry Potter.
On the other hand, I don't consider this a competition. I thoroughly enjoy reading children's books, but if you're going to score things, there should be certain rules. Or you can just go T-Rex and tell me "sucks to that!"
I’m excited
