What is LibraryThing?

Enter what you're reading or your whole library—it's an easy, library-quality catalog. Because everyone else is doing it too, LibraryThing connects you with people who read the same things, and gives you great recommendations. Check out the buzz.

What's good?

  • Rapidly searches Amazon, the Library of Congress and 45 other world libraries.
  • Show it or keep it private. Show your books on your blog too.
  • Get recommendations. Connect to people with all your obscure stuff.
  • Tag your books as on Del.icio.us and Flickr (eg., wwii, magical realism, vampires, theology, dogs, philosophy of science).
  • Export your data. Import from almost anywhere too.
  • Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life).
