Thanks to Kris for letting me know about Shelfari. It’s a social networking site which specializes in books and reading. You can track the books you’ve read and make a list of books that you want to read. There are lists of the most popular and highest rated books by other members as well, so it’s a good place to find a new book to read, too. It’s a great idea, but it could use a few more key features. I’d like it to look at the books I’ve read and rated highly and suggest others that I would like based on other users who have similar interests. The database also needs to be cleaned up. Some books I searched for were listed 4 different times because there were paperback and hardcover versions and other print runs. I don’t want to choose a specific version of The DaVinci Code that I read, especially if it’s not going to match my friend’s copy. I hope they continue to improve the site, because it really does have some potential.


Thanks, but I’ll stick with the dewey decimal system.
