Imagine being able to put your entire library online so that people could check out what books you have (and you, in turn, could check out theirs). Library voyeurism... That's what LibraryThing is all about.

Of course, if you're like me, you never get around to entering your entire book collection: you only dream of that magical day when all your books will be entered into LibraryThing and your electronic library will be neat and orderly -- unlike your real-world library, which is probably constantly outgrowing the real-world bookshelves in your real-world life. But it's a nice fantasy to carry around in your head if you're a book lover, like me.

i LOVE this website. it's a great way to keep track of your librar. itt also lets you browse through other people's librariesto get ideas for new books to read from people with similar tastes. i am currently doing the 999 challenge on there which is to read 9 books in 9 categories for 2009. this website is perfect for bibliophiles!

Do you like to read? Social networking? Browsing other people's bookshelves?

Well LibraryThing is for you. It's a cool little site that lets you enter in the contents of your book collection. You can then view people with similar taste, complete opposites, or just find a random gem of a book. It has great features to show you books you might like (based on your submissions) and those a little off the beaten path.

It's a cool tool if you're serious about reading and your collection. Try it out - it's free!

It's nice to know there are other book-maniacs out there.

Impress yourself with the sheer number of books you've read in your lifetime, catalog your collection, check out new books that people with similar libraries own, read reviews, etc. It's all at LibraryThing.com. I admit I've been lazy in terms of adding more entries to my library, but this is definitely a great site. It's great for sharing books with friends and family, too.

i too use library thing. it fills that desire i have to make lists and inventories. weird, i know. i have a feed to my blog so my friends can check out what i have been reading. this site is very helpful when you want to find a book similar to one you have already read. (via anndouglas)

I really love this great online library. Connect to thousands of book lovers and browse their personal bookshelves. A great way to discover new titles. Order them on Amazon. Check it out!
