I may be way behind the times here, I don’t know. But, I just discovered this cool website called Shelfari. You set up an account, and you have your own “shelf”. You add your books to your shelf and that lets other members see what books you read. You can make friends based on similar reading and give and get recommendations. It’s a smooth site and very “Web 2.0“. I suppose you could call it a social network, but it’s concentrated only on people with similar reading interest. You can leave comments about books, and find what other people had to say about a book before you read it. It’s comments, not really reviews. Anyway, I like it and thought I’d share.

yeap, there are many sites like this, such as the ubiquitous librarything. i have one at reader2, which isn’t very good, and there are others like allconsuming.net, gurulib, delicious library, bookpedia and goodreads. you might want to check them all out before settling for one to see the different features between each of them, but shelfari looks quite as sleek as librarything.

I am behind. I’ve actually seen a couple of those such as librarything. Goodreads looks pretty good.

I use Shelfari almost daily. I love it! It is taking me forever to get all my books on there. Check out my shelf if you want: http://www.shelfari.com/crysacraig/shelf

Wow! You have a lot of books. I’ve only been reading regularly for about six or seven months. Looks like you’ve been at it for years.

LibraryThing is the ultimate book maven tool.
But Your Media Library on amazon gives Delicious Library a run for its money if you own _a lot_ of stuff.
