No. 8 of the library things: LibraryThing

Doing this from the hotel in Pennsylvania...

Went to LibraryThing and created an account. Added five books to my "library" (just a few favorites, notably Bandits by Elmore Leonard and the Rebecca Miller's screenplay of The Ballad of Jack & Rose). Unless something is wrong with the site (as it was while I was signing up), this should be my public shelf.

LibraryThing was interesting. It reminds me of the Shelfari and the Visual Bookshelf applications on Facebook. My Visual Bookshelf keeps track of books I've read, books I'd like to read, and books I'm reading now. It operates by the same principle as LibraryThing, pulling most of its data from Amazon.com. I can write reviews, recommend books to friends, and even buy books directly from Amazon through the Facebook application. My Visual Bookshelf currently contains 104 books, but I add to that whenever my friends add books to theirs. = )
