I hope you are well.<BR/><BR/>I started a librarything account a while back, basically because I would read a book and then forget that I had read it and start reading it again, only to think "dammit, this book is familiar" and not realize until halfway through that I had read it already.<BR/><BR/>That said, I can't remember the last time I updated or looked at my librarything account. Perhaps I should do that. I've actually started using goodreads, which is nice, especially for keeping an easy "to-read" list, which is what I really need. Nothing like getting to the library or book store and blanking on what I wanted to get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507307540604269398.post-11351743603804366432008-09-25T13:15:00.000-04:002008-09-25T13:15:00.000-04:00My librarything account serves two purposes:1) to ...My librarything account serves two purposes:<BR/><BR/>1) to entertain me with vain fantasies of having my taste validated by some kind of massive outburst of online acclaim.<BR/><BR/>2) to remind me of my own inadequacies, both because of the library's small and fragmentary nature and because I haven't bothered to update it since sometime last year.<BR/><BR/>I like your blog; you're a very good writer. I also wish I could put that eighteenth-century tag to better use, but lately it's been Russia all the way down.

Yet, here I am, again.<BR/><BR/>I use Library Thing but as you may have noticed not to store all my library but as a useful gadget to report on what I'm reading or would like to read on my blog. I just realized that using a different feature of blogger would actually allow me to do what before was only possible using the Library Thing widgets, so I'm thinking of leaving the Thing forever. I am sure this has not been useful to you at all. But perhaps you can count me as a kind of example of how the Thing may not be working or, rather, of how some users are not really using the Thing as they should.
