No. 11 - About my bookshelf - looking at Library thing

After many attempts, I finally got a password accepted. The site seems to have a few connection problems. It is a useful concept for readers who really want to share their reading and want to be continually updated with new titles. I prefer not to put my library out there. I checked a few of the titles from my personal collection, and there were no links. The listings , I presume, are heavily US biased. However, it is a handy tool if you are trying to confirm a title, as it searches a lot of huge d/b's at once. I searched 'Pride and prejudice', being a Jane Austen fan , and found over 100 titles. It is worth having in your favourites folder under Library tools. I just choose not to participate.
