I finally succumbed (Library Thing profile), and signed up yesterday, and have been cataloguing for a bit. I sort of gave up tagging after the first book, but it's rather cool. I found nhw on there by the simple tactic of "people who own similar books", and by similar method I think bopeepsheep is BoPeep, yes?

You're allowed 200 books on a free account, and I'm at over 150 already, and I'm nowhere near finished with the books I actually like/use. I like the recommendations features, there's a pile of books on that list I've been meaning to get for ages anyway. And the Unsuggester can be fun as well; type in your favourite book, see what book you're least likely to like/own. Except, from the sidebar, I'm actually quite likely to get Kissinger's book, and Thud! remains a favourite from the year.

Question for those using it? Any easy way to select a different edition of the same book? For some reason it keeps giving me French or German prints (and, in one case, Serbian), and while I've no real objection to appearing my of a linguist than I am, it is a little daft, and I can't figure out an easy way. Also, apart from Groups, is there a 'networking' aspect I'm missing? Regardless, a cool site.

faeriecween? Be warned. It could eat away lots of free time.
