for you reading folk out there
I found this on Cool Hunting: this website called What Should I Read Next?, lets you enter books that you like, and you get suggestions from other folks’ lists. I guess it’s kind of like amazon’s recommended items list, but you can pick a particular set of books from your list from which to get a recommendation, rather than just getting recommended willy nilly.
From lifehacker, LibraryThing is a site that lets you catalog your books. Some features include a comment field, a reviews field, tagging, and some social networking aspects. It’s pretty cool so far, and it’s still in beta, so I can’t wait to see what new features they come up with.
Update:
From Nashville is Talking: It’s Banned Books Week! The American Library Association sponsors this week each year to celebrate the freedom to read (and write). There’s lots of great resources on their site, including a banned books week kit that you can order, lots of information, and lists of the most challenged books/authors.
