Library Thing

Having fun lately with Library Thing: "LibraryThing is an online service to help people catalog their books easily. You can access your catalog from anywhere—even on your mobile phone. Because everyone catalogs together, LibraryThing also connects people with the same books, comes up with suggestions for what to read next, and so forth."

That's what I call a social network! Just added the few books on my tiny bookshelf and some others piling around. I miss my stored-in-the-basement-of-a-friend books. Now I'm starting my own online library. Great!

(found it through misteraitch whose blog is such a source of many delights - which lately includes a post with my favourite Xul Solar painting and a mention to Javier Marías - the cause of my sunday El País newspaper obsession.

Cool! Thanks! One of those applications you wish you'd found much earlier...

I'm glad you're enjoying librarything! I am such a nerd that I went to the trouble of scanning the covers for almost a hundred of my books, so that the little icons would match what was on my shelves... I see we only have two books in common so far, although, if one were to include the 'shadow library' of books I used to own, but have since given away, lost or sold, that number would be quite a bit higher.
