Exercise 14 Library Thing

I wasn't so interested in the tagging, cataloging tools that Library Thing offers, but the great resources the site has for readers' advisory and book groups. It's great to hear others' views and recommendations and the study questions in some of the book descriptions give you new perspectives on the book that you may not have thought about.
I also really liked the Zeitgeist section - a wonderful snapshot of what the world is reading. And in "Librarians who Library Thing" there is a section called "Funny Requests from Patrons" - really funny with stories that I'm sure we can all relate to!
