LibraryThing

For Exercise 11

Apart from eating and sleeping, reading is an important element for me to sustain my life.

The first application I know for listing books is weRead from Facebook. Members share their comments of the books that they read in a simple platform. Compared to weRead, the LibraryThing is a much greater reading community with more features. One of its features which I like is that it would give reading recommendation to me according to my reading list. Sure I am very interested to know what other similar books are avaliable.

It is also interesting that it allows interaction between authors and reader in their Author Chats forum, and it provide a platform for members and authors to give their books away to another member who write a review about the book and being selected randomly. It is quite a meaningful way to clear the shelves for new books and for the authors to promote their works.

You are welcome to visit my library in the LibraryThing below, or check the widget of my library in the right column:
