Thing #11-LibraryThing

LibraryThing is a neat way to share your favorite books, as well as take a peek at what others are reading and recommend. It is easily organized into its own library catalog and is very simple to join. With a wide range of search data from hundreds of libraries, even out of print materials are easy to locate. A great way to have an online book club and find other topics of literary interest is to create a “group” within LibraryThing. Other useful tools include the Book Information page(which gives high quality data about books you are curious about) and the Book Suggester and UnSuggester. I thought the UnSuggeter was a neat feature because it made recommendations of what not to read.
