Book Links
Posted by The Silver Fox under Books
Here are some intriguing websites for those among you that are, like me, bookishly inclined.
Shelfari is rather similar to LibraryThing, but has the added advantage of a cleaner interface and being free of charge. I should note that Shelfari seems to be as much a social network site as it a book cataloguing site, while LibraryThing, which will charge you after you catalogue over 200 books is a website clearly aimed at the hardcore bibliophile, what with the ability to search 78 libraries, add lots o’ tags, and connect through your mobile phone. I can be found at both Shelfari and LibraryThing, although I’m nowhere close to cataloguing all my books on either site.
I haven’t signed up for BookMooch, mainly because I’m afraid of expanding my ‘to read’ pile even further. Maybe someone else will sign up and let me know how it is… .

I don’t like how BookMooch charges the giver for shipping. Every time someone wants one of your books, it costs you $5.

That’s a little steep; for $5 I can simply go and buy a couple of used books myself.

I just signed on with Shelfari. Looks like a cool tool.
