LibraryThing

Here's the starter list of books I added to LibraryThing. I gave LibraryThing a try a few years ago and expected to really get into it, but it never took. I'm not sure why. I currently keep track of books I've read and books I want to read in a very 1.0 way - lists in Yahoo Notepad. It seems to work for me. I really enjoy the serendipity of coming across a book, either in conversation, on a website, in a journal, etc, that sounds intriguing and either reading it right away or adding it to my list and finding it later. Sites like LibraryThing produce an overwhelming number of results that I find too difficult and suspect to wade through.

I also find the search a little confusing. I expect the Amazon results to be a little goofy, but the LOC results didn't make any sense either. Being a librarian, I guess I prefer a basic title browse.
