Yo, everybody! Come join the new TWeb group on LibraryThing!

Okay, I'm convinced. Once I can get my home computer set-up re-set-up, and get an online connection again, I'll be there. Probably a week or two from now.
It'll be easier to use now than it would have been for me in the past, since I'm having to rebuild my library from scratch. If I still had the old library, I don't know that I'd want to take the effort to get it all on there.
One thing I notice: If LibraryThing can't find your book, it seems to use a default "cover photo". It would be nice if you could upload a scan yourself. But perhaps that's gilding the lily.

I think that LibraryThing gets the images from Amazon, and I'm fairly sure that Amazon has a feature that lets users upload features of the books. 'Course, I can't guarantee how successful that is, since my computer refused to let that actually work the last time I tried to help Amazon out (with Danker's Benefactor--I'm the only guy on LibraryThing who has that). *mumbles at his computer*
I look forward to seeing the beginnings of your new library, Curt.

Oh my goodness. Originally posted by JB
I don't use libraries. I should, but I immensely prefer to actually own the books I read. Hence, I shall undoubtedly pour a great deal of money into amassing a larger collection, but someday, I'll be able to look at a shelf full of amazing books, owned by me, and just bask in their information content.
Thank you.

The only reason I haven't used it is because I don't want to pay money and I have quite a few more than 200 books. Some of them are crappy, to be sure, but I think I can come up with more than 200 good books.

Ok, I give in...it looks like too much fun.
Now that I've thought about it, I can cut down to 200 pretty easily.

Sounds too much like hard work, as I have hundreds of books. I'm cataloging them in my own database, and selling as many of them as I can.

Thanks for putting up that site. My library has only begun. I had a lot more books than I originally thought...

I'd never get all of my books on that. I work at a book distro. Seems I come home with 4 or 5 new ones a week. I just sold about 200 in the last garage sale. To bad I can't sell all of the advance proof ones I have as well.

This would be fun, but I'd need a couple of months off, an assistant or two, and a couple of orders of magnitude more space to put my library on there. (Serious bibliophile here ...)
I see this is a beta. What happens if/when they pull a geocities maneuver on all the users? Ugh ...

I've been on librarything for awhile now. Love it! Check me out at http://www.librarything.com/catalog/slaveofOne. I've written reviews for about a third of everything also.
He whose wisdom is more abundant than his works, to what is his like? To a tree whose branches are abundant but whose roots are few; and the wind comes and uproots it and overturns it (as it is written, “He shall be like a tamerisk in the desert and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness"). But he whose works are more abundant than his wisdom, to what is he like? To a tree whose branches are few but whose roots are many; so that even if all the winds in the world come and blow against it, it cannot be stirred from its place (as it is written, “He shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out his roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, and his leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit”).
--Mishnah Aboth, 3:18 (with Jeremiah 17:6, 8)

Wow. Thank you for sharing this site. I have three full bookshelves full of titles to add.. so I don't think it's worth sharing my empty page yet. But thank you for this link.
