LibraryThing is a social cataloging web application for storing and sharing book catalogs and various types of book metadata. It is used by authors, individuals, libraries, and publishers. It went live on August 29, 2005 and has 2,600,000 users and over 155 million books catalogued. (Wikipedia)

I started using LibraryThing in September of 2005 and currently have 896 books in the database: 596 fiction, 236 non-fiction… by 336 authors. Some of my favorites:

John Sandford (43)
Michael Connelly (33)
Lawrence Block (31)
Sue Grafton (23)
Elmore Leonard (23)
John D. Macdonald (22)
Robert B. Parker (22)
Ross Thomas (21)
Bill Granger (15)
John Grisham (15)
William Gibson (14)
Carl Hiaasen (13)

Robert K. Tanenbaum (12)
James S. A. Corey (11)

I continue to fine-tune my tags. Still the best snap-shot of my interests.

PS: Amazon says I’ve purchased more than 700 books starting in 1998.
