The LibraryThing “connects you to people who read what you do”, the site advertises.

The site has an attractive interface, just as goodreads does. The LibraryThing has an easier-to-find tour and instructions.

“LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for book lovers.” “LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share.” Many claims.

I’m bemused. Do you find this form of social networking of interest? Do you read the reviews of others? Do you read reviews in the New York Times online? Or does your library offer an online community? Do tell!
