Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - LibraryThing

During my relaxing long weekend, I've been having fun playing around with LibraryThing. If you haven't heard of it, it's essentially a place where you can catalogue the books you've read online. Of course, it has tons of Web 2.0 style goodness and connects you with other users who read similar things, gives you recommendations and, among other things, lets you know how indie you are in your book choices (necessary for all the vintage-jacket wearing bohemian types, of course).

You can also see other users who have a specific books, what ratings they've given it, what they've tagged it with, and what else they own. Basically, it's a huge wealth of information for anyone who's ever wondered what they should read next.

Plus, you can also share your library with other people, even if they aren't members. So, here's mine. If you're a book-lover, you've gotta check this site out.
