What is the best online book cataloging site these days? I have a bunch of my books cataloged in Readerware, which works all-right, but I'm thinking about going through and re-syncing my collection and my catalog, and that seems like a good time to consider a software switch

we've been using librarything.

Seconded, though I haven't updated it in a while. I keep my primary/authoritative source equivalent to a card catalog in Excel.

We keep primary in Librarything, but backup to xls format regularly from it (just in case.)

Well, LibraryThing when I first jumped on it didn't support some of the metadata I track (right now, what box the book packed in; historically, which bookcase and shelf the book is on), and I never put the pr0n or periodicals into it, so that data's only in Excel. I really should resynchronize the two but it's not managed to get to the top of the to-do list.

Professionally.

I've got some sturdy mental floss to stitch your brain back together if you'd like....
