Goodreads.com
I've been using Goodreads.com (recommended by a friend) since Jan. 2008 and I have to say that it has become one of my favorite Web sites. Joining is free, which is always good, and it was named as one of the Top Ten Web sites by Time.com this past Dec.
Goodreads.com is used to catalog books that you have read, want to read and currently reading. You can RSS feed your books, invite friends to join and see what they have read and recommend books to each other. In addition, exploring what other Goodreads community member has read, write/read reviews is easy. Other features allow you to tag your books, they call this shelves, such as memoirs, fiction, graphic novel, and sci-fi. I've been looking for something like this for a long, long time. I remember thinking about how I can catalog books that I have read and want to read...hmmmm, paper, spreadsheet, database, jotting in down on my Palm...you get the point. Goodreads.com is perfect for me.

My biggest problem is that I haven't been doing much reading lately, and thus very few updates. But I gotta say, you've been at it full force! I see your updates come across all of the time. It's a great tool, and I like it!
