Library Thing

I recently discovered a web site called Library Thing. It allows one to catalog one's personal book collection in an easy-to-use manner that supports quite a bit of social interaction such as book reccomendations based on user ratings and book review browsing. This has inspired me to try yet another attempt at blogging; this time, however, I have a direct and distinct perpose: to review books I have collected and read and to possible comment on some I have not but have heard about through friends. Hopefully, each post will consist of either a book review or blog/personal library-related news or at least a few reading suggestions. I only hope I can give something usefull the reading community at large. (However, I certainly would not mind making a little money off of my efforts -- this is a capitalist country you know, so please feel free to click through to Amazon.com via the book links in the upper-right hand corner or to make use of the handy-dandy search box.)

What's in a name?

Cave ab homine unius libri!
Beware a man with only one book!
