CPL2.0 -- What the heck is a LibraryThing??

Oh what fun. For all of us book nerds, LibraryThing is a true thing of beauty. For years I have tried to keep a book journal. Not very successfully. I buy myself a nice new notebook, start the year off well recording the books I have read, rating them, writing my little review. By February I am bored by the whole thing. About November I think I should update my book journal and try frantically to remember all I have read since about March.
LibraryThing practically does the whole thing for me. It's so easy to find the book you've read, give it a quick 1-5 star review, even tag it if you wish. I liked being able to easily see others who seem to have the same reading taste. It's a really easy site to use. Since I run one of the book clubs here at the branch I can see practical uses for work as well as personal.
Now if I can just remember my login, I'll be good to go!!
