LibraryThing

I recently discovered a great website for voracious yet somewhat disorganized readers like myself. Library Thing (http://www.librarything.com), with over 5.1 million books listed, helps users store, share and catalogue their personal library. The site makes an excellent online reading journal, a place where you can review and rate your books, share your library with like-minded readers, discuss your favourite books, and "tag" (assign descriptive words) to your books for ease of retrieval. Book information is retrieved from worldwide sources, including Amazon, Library of Congress, National Library of Canada and the University of Calgary. If you've ever wanted to organize your book collection and have a lot of fun along the way, check out Library Thing.
