Social networking for bookworms - what will they think of next?

I heard a story on All Things Considered a while back about how bibliophile websites are connecting readers. here When I finally got around to checking it out recently, I found a world of literary fun and, I must admit, a measure of self indulgence.

At librarything.com you can enter all the books in your library into a list, a virtual library of sorts, and then compare the books you own with what other people out there have entered. Various tools make entering your library easy, then you can find people with similar tastes, read and write reviews, make recommendations, get recommendations, rate books, and use a variety of other tools I’m just begining to explore.

The basic subscription to librarything.com is free. There is a paid version, but I can’t imagine what is lacking in the free site that would make upgrading worthwhile.

If you like books, I’m pretty sure you will like librarything.com.
