Managing Book Lists - Part II

recommends LibraryThing. The beta geek in me registered at this service and from what I have seen, it looks good. The web design is not 1997-style, you have proper tagging, it is easy to find readers who have very similar reading lists and the other user who has exactly the same book as you. It supports many data sources, among them the amazons, the library of congress and other libraries.

Another nice feature is the bookshelf view to your book list, which is almost what I had in mind when I wished an Javascript-resizable Bookshelf view. Unfortunately there is no lending/borrowing feature in this application, which makes it hard to use for my purposes.
