I Love Books!

Do you ever wish your personal books were organized in an easily searchable catalog? Do you ever sneak a peek at other people's bookshelves when you go visiting? Do you wish you could discuss your favorite books with like-minded individuals? A website called The Library Thing http://www.librarything.com/ allows you to do all this and more. You may create your own personal library catalog of up to 200 books at no charge. To add more than 200 titles costs $10 per year or a $25 life-time fee. Cool features include a reader's advisory book recommendation section and the ability to interact with people who share the same tastes in reading as you.
