Amazon owns Goodreads. It's not independent. It's also not mentioned on the site afaik. (They also own IMDb and a bunch of other internet companies that aren't Amazon-branded). If you want something independent, try storygraph or librarything.

Yeah I knew about IMDB. I know a guy at Amazon that said IMDB used to actually be in Perl, they rewrote it in Java over a few years.
