Good news. I’ve been sponsored with a one-year account for LibraryThing, so now I can start to test this service to my heart’s content. First off, here’s my collection of books in LibraryThing.
Secondly, there are a few inaccuracies from my last post I should clear up. LibraryThing does of course support adding books via ISBN and its various cousins. I just overlooked that. And, something I found out today, LibraryThing lets you add covers to the various books yourself. Which is really quite useful if you’re adding books long out of print or just not in any database with the correct cover. You’ll notice that I’ve managed to turn my catalogue into a “blank-free” zone. I know, it’s not crucial, but if I choose to have a visual representation of my collection, I may as well have it with all the right covers.
Right, I’ll keep adding books to my database, and am really looking forward to the social experience of it all. Who knows, maybe some people out there have an equally eclectic mix?

nice. this actually looks promising
I just checked out your book list. at least parts of it. it’s very useful for people who want to give you books as presents to see what you’ve got already and which authors you hate.
and also to see how much you liked books given to you as presents (especially from me)
I didn’t know you were so obsessed by lists. you would be great for my job, it’s nothing but lists!
Hehe, yes, I love lists. If there’s something I can fill it with. Fortunately there’s no website out there that lets you list great jobs you’ve held, haha.
By the way, what’s with the new name? New job, new name, is that it? Anyway, just keep in mind that I’ll have to approve your messages manually if you keep changing your name.
well, last time I tried with my old name, it wouldn’t let me leave a reply, so there you go…
usually it would also automatically show my email and now I always have to type it in. isn’t that weird?
