I have recently started cataloging my library on LibraryThing. I intend to purchase a scanner to make this massive project easier.

Hi Jeff<br />
<br />
LibraryThing has a practical use. I recently began using LibraryThing because I can look up all the books in my library on my PocketPC. This way if I have a question about whether I own a book, then I can look it up anywhere anytime. Buying a book I already own is expensive and frustrating.

True and true. And it's a goldmine for nosy people. You can snoop through the shelves of people you don't even know!

I started using it a while ago, then buckled under the sheer weight of books. Even thinking about it makes me weak at the knees - I'm a compulsive hoarder and I've got pretty much everything I've ever read, including my old Ladybird books from when I was three (well, Mum was going to throw them out, or worse, give them away!)<br />
<br />
In another life I collect comics - something I've been doing for almost 30 years now. That's another terrifying cataloguing project I can't quite bring myself to start.

No. Too damn many books and I don't like record keeping. I need time to write. But this strange hobby is catching on. When I google my books (the ones I wrote), I find them in all sorts of different languages in Library Thing. Maybe people even review. So on the whole I approve. :)

I'm an avid reader, and have finished 50+ novels already this year. I get tons of questions from people about my reading habits. I can point them to my LibraryThing. The other aspect I like is the connections to other people's libraries. If I really like a book, I might check out another reader's library and see what else they liked and try that.<br />

The publishing world might be publishing 150,000 titles a year, but I still need recommendations. :)<br />

I just started using Library Thing this year, because of the gadgets for my blog. I enjoyed seeing the covers on other peoples blogs and decided to do it too.
