LIbrary Thing

I found this a fairly well-layed out site, with the exception of my usual complaint for these type of sites-too many tags.

This would not be something I would use to keep track of my reading material-there are simpler and faster wasys as far as I am concerned. But I can see the appeal for some people. And if some of the users are to be believed (although I have my doubts), it is very well used. My disbelief stems from some of the numbers that people are putting up---like user bluetyson with 35,000 plus reviews?! Don't quite know where he/she has the time to read 35000 books AND find time to write a review about them.

One thing I thought it did well and would be of use to me was finding Read-A-Likes. It also had a good tool for ordering series, particularly for authors who have more than one series going at a time.
