Book Website: Library Thing
Are you like me? Do you have stacks of books in all corners of your home? Have you ever wanted to catalog your books? Share them with others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Library Thing is for you (http://www.librarything.com/).
Library Thing is an online service that anyone can use to catalog their personal library. Because everyone catalogs together, you can also use LibraryThing to find people with similar libraries, get suggestions from people with your tastes and so forth.
I have started my catalog. You can view it here: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/guanarteme.
I really like the feature that tells you how many other people have a book you've listed. Sadly, the book I share with the fewest people (2) is the One Volume Bible Commentary by J. Dummelow. The book I share with the most people (2835) is Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. Suprising, I know.

Sounds fun. I wonder if similar sites exist for films and music...
Chris, to answer your question, yes, there is a comparable site for movies. Its called Movielens. Here is a link:

Spencer, I hadn't heard of "We." Now it is on my wish list. What a great find. It sounds like Ayn Rand also borrowed from it for her novella "Anthem."
