What else should I read?
I'm sure many people have heard of LibraryThing. Several national news outlets have featured LibraryThing and Mike Arnzen blogged it just the other day.
One of the cooler LibraryThing features is the BookSuggester which provides a "people who like this also like that" listing based upon LibraryThing user data. Here's a BookSuggester example using Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" as a point of reference.
Along with BookSuggester, LibraryThing offers the UnSuggester. It takes the "people who like this also like that" model and flips it around. I wonder what people who don't like McMurtry's Lonesome Dove are reading. Probably some stupid object-oriented programming manual...

I think that's a cool feature on LibraryThing too.
I recently found another reader recommendation site that helped me get the lead on some new authors. It's www.Juicespot.ca. You click on a cover and you can check out comments on the book. You can also add your own two-cents on anything you've read. I found a few things to add to my reading list. Nice, clean site, easy to use. Worth a look.
