I (Heart) LibraryThing

I *love* LibraryThing. If you're a book nerd, especially if you don't happen to have a great book group or a lot of friends who read the same kind of stuff or you're just insatiable to find out about books and share opinions on them, this site is unbeatable. I'm a lifetime member. You can find me there, under the username keywestnan. I have cataloged 500 books and reviewed 60. I also use a few other social networking booksites -- Visual Bookshelf and weRead on Facebook and Shelfari -- but none of them can compare. Even though I don't personally know anyone else who is a big LibraryThing user, I still find it a great source of recommendations, reviews and general chatter about books, libraries and sometimes other subjects. I'm particularly fond of the "odd things found in the library" message threads among the Librarians Who LibraryThing group. They're unbelievable. Another cool thing about the site is that a lot of the users in general and librarians in particular seem to be from the UK and that gives you an interesting and different perspective on books, reading and librarianship. Long Live LT!
