TV, FILM, PHILOSOPHY, POETRY, AND GENERAL OBSERVATIONS BY CHRISTOPHER SMITH

Library Thing

I've been a member of Library Thing for about 2 years now and just became a lifetime member tonight.

It is a site that allows you to catalogue your books for all the world to see. You can be a member for free but can only add 200 books. If you become a member you can list as many books as you wish. Library Things costs $10 a year, or $25 for a lifetime membership.

When you add a book you just type in the ISBN and the site searches Amazon.com or 254 more sources for the book information. The title, author, and other information is added to your library with a picture of the book. You then add your own tags and can review the book. The site also tells you how many other members have the book.


Library Thing also features interest groups where you can chat with other members. The largest group is called "Librarians who LibraryThing" which has 3655 members.

I really enjoy this site and was surprised that I have 239 books listed. I have qute a few to add too.
