Hey, do you know the difference between Librarything and Goodreads? Thinking of joining one of those book cataloging thingies but I don't know which one to pick.

I've briefly looked at Goodreads a few times, it seems like it has a much bigger community, but the community is also much younger and less serious, more fit for one-line reviews and mild browsing &c. They also got in trouble a lot when they were new for trying to access your e-mail's address book and spamming everyone in it. (Some say they still do it--but I've never really looked it up?)
The LT community is very friendly, for the most part--I've gotten a lot of shit from snobs for being snarky in my Twilight review and recently when I started adding non-book things (if you checked my profile, I have separated libraries for vidya games and music and movies), but a lot of support, too. If you like that idea, you definitely can't do it on GR (you can see what I did with, say, PC games hurrr: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/RSHabroptilus&tag=pc ).
I like LT a lot. Very customizable--always getting more-so. The owner is cool too and listens to anything you have to say--har har he even backed me up after I pissed off so many with the Twilight business, which was coo'.

I just read "Heart of Darkness", a book that has been on my "to read" list for twenty years or so. It was pretty great, now i ordered "Nostromo" from Amazon, just to see if it's anything like.
Also been on a Conan run lately, maybe because of Frazzetta passing away or something.

I really enjoyed Heart of Darkness as well, but I found Nostromo to be a bit of a slog. I don't think I made it more than a quarter of the way through before I got distracted by something else. Conrad's writing was definitely more focussed in Heart of Darkness, less Victorian and windy. I should pick Nostromo up again, though...
Edit: Also, if you like Conrad, you might be interested to check out some Ford Madox Ford. The Good Soldier by FMF is easily one of my all-time favourite books.

To paraphrase Count Dracula; I don't read...books. But what I do read is a whole lot of magazine content, usually broadly related to politics, literature or philosophy (not so much science or pop culture, though I do skim through many game reviews as well).
Given these general interests, my favorite Web site is "Arts & Letters Daily" (www.aldaily.com), which conveniently links to the latest and greatest texts available online for free from major publications and journals with some kind of intellectual pretentions (such as The New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, New Yorker, First Things, Prospect Magazine, The New Republic, Der Spiegel, American Scholar etc.).

Has anyone read Steven Ericsons Tales of the Malazan of of the Fallen series?
I'm currently going through Toll the Hounds, 8th book, and wondering if it picks up in steam in next books cause this is having Wheel of time effect on me. Stopped reading that series after 8th book cause it just wasn't going anywhere.
Couple of first books in Malazan I read couple of times. They are good, but then the overall progress just stalls. I mean in this and WoT there is action happening but nothing significant ain't.

I read like I breathe air (no, don't breathe thru my nose). But due lack of time, I'm reading a lot less in the past years.
Reading now:
The art of war - Sun Tzu
Autobiography - Eric Clapton
LOTS of technical stuff
Just read:
Microserfs - Douglas Coupland (by the 4th time)
Autobiography - Emerson Fittipaldi
Getting Things Done - David Allen
But lately, I'm reading many magazines and websites, for most of the time. A good book requires lots of time and concentration, and I'm strugglin' to be able to get it :)

Sure thing!
I'm a horror freak so my favorite authors are: H. P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King ('The Shining', 'The Long Walk', 'Pet Sematary' and 'It' are books that you just must read!).
My next interests are Sci-Fi and fantasy books. I highly recommend 'The Witcher' and 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream'.
