Explore library thing...

I was able to explore LibraryThing, create an account and add/import several titles to my profile, without incident.

The list view option in the My Library tab was more interesting than the Covers view because it provided much more information; and provided extensive navigational pathways.

It was fascinating to read that in excess of 28,000,000 titles are included and cross referenced on the database. Additionally, the recommendations tab is probably really useful when a member has a reasonable number of items listed in their respective libraries.

The local LibraryThing tab has some opportunity for improvement. The concept is really positive but it defaults to Boston, Massachusetts. The profile page does not permit an individual to alter the location either.

My preliminary list of book titles is visible at the following URL: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Sylvestercat

Hello Sylvester, Well, you still have me intrigued. Notice from your favourite things that you are a rather sporty cat.....
