Tag Issues and a Goodreads Idea

$

So, an issue that I am continually running across is that when I download the metadata for a book, the tags are often quite useless. Downloading from Amazon, Goodreads, and FictionDB will often get me a book with tags like: General Fiction, Contemporary.

When I look at the Top 100 Shelves on Goodreads, the book is shelved as follows: General Fiction, Contemporary, Southern, Paranormal, Police, Angst, Adventure, Coming of Age. Which is a much more useful set of tags.

Is there any way to easily add the shelves as tags? Maybe a plugin, or a feature on GR that I don't know about? I know that the GR Plugin can do tag stuff, but that seems to be only with YOUR tags. I really don't want to have to go to every book I own and add in every tag by hand. :eek:

I'm just looking for the most time efficient and least labor intensive way to manage tagging.

Any ideas? What's your process? Tell me how you like to tag!
