Browsing the Bookshelves

www.librarything.com  It's brilliant, it's cool, it's fun and incredibly useful. It's one of those things that the internet was meant for. A wonderfully simple idea, executed with style and efficiency, to produce a genuinely desirable tool for those people who combine a love of books with a desire to expand their reading.  If you also have even a mild obsession with numbers as well, LibraryThing will be just about your personal heaven. Librarything let's you catalogue your beloved book collection (ok, in my case read accumulation rather than collection) and compare with the collections of others. A fascinating exercise which has not only consumed all my free time for the last couple of days but which has also resulted in an astounding increase in the number of books on my wish list. Seriously, Amazon should be paying these people commission!
