I pick a few good reviews on books I like, click on the reviewers' names and use the "compare books" link. If we have a lot of books in common and their member page shows recent activity (especially of the review or comment variety), out goes the friend request. This is a more time-consuming method but I find it a fun activity on its own.

Wait, there's a compare books link?! (Goodreads is a a weirdly chaotic app...)

I've never been able to find the option to compare books in the app (android), I think it's only available in a browser (just like half the features I use sigh)

in a browser you can click a drop down menu on someone's profile and it'll show you all the books you've both added to your pages and give you a similarity percentage for books you've both read/rated. it's pretty neat :D

Ah, it's a browser-only thing too... I'm right there, sighing with you. It looks like I'll have to haunt the browser version too. Thanks!
