Anyone else on LibraryThing?

This is a wonderful, wonderful book, the second from the Bad Astronomer and JREF President, Dr Phil Plait. The book goes through all the ways that the universe can kill us. How ( Read more... )

I've moved my entire bookshelf over to LibraryThing! Woo-hoo. No more Shelfari (which for a number of reasons annoyed the carp out of me).

As Trafford Sewell struggles to work through the usualy crowds of near-naked commuters, he is confronted by the intimidating figure of his parish Confessor. Why has Trafford not been streaming his every moment of sexual intimacy on to ( Read more... )

Does anyone here (other than wolfkit of course) use Shelfari? It's essentially an online book club. You can add books to your own bookshelf, and connect with other Shelfari users who are reading the same books. I've recently started using it. You can see my bookshelf here.

The Three Musketeers is only the first part of a long story ( Read more... )
