CCLS 23 Things #11: Library Thing

I set up a Library Thing account and added eight books. I deliberately chose a variety of titles, which probably makes it less likely that certain features on the site—the recommendations and similar libraries functions—will be able to figure me out.

I always have more than enough titles on my "must read" list, so I doubt I would go to Library Thing for suggestions. However, I might use the site to keep track of my current and future reading, especially books borrowed from the library. I don't see much point in duplicating my home library in an online version, but I would like to have a list of things that I've read that I don't own. The tags and comments could be useful for reminding me what a book was about—these days it seems I can't remember anything about the books I've read except whether I liked them or not!
