LibraryThing

Librarything is a great social network for bookworms where individuals can swap reading lists with others. A very interesting feature it has is the 'Unsuggester', which tells which books you will hate based on the books you love. You can also search your books, sort your books, create new collections, edit book information, print a copy of your catalog, write reviews and apply tags. Each book page shows you which members a given book and what they think about it — tags, reviews and even links to conversations about the book.

There are over 1,000,000 users and 40 million books in the system! It’s a very user friendly and easy to navigate site, but the features are so vast that only frequent users would touch on a fraction of those features. It’s definitely a great way to track your reading lists and build on them in a variety of ways.
