Practical applications of Library Thing

It is probably a good thing that I never looked at Library Thing before, although I had heard of it, because it is so addictive. I could easily spend all day going from one recommendation to another and placing holds. I will definitely start using this site but I will need to exercise iron self-control!! I think it will be a very useful site to use to answer customer requests (from adults and children) for new recommendations. It is so easy to look up a title previously read and enjoyed and find a whole cloud of tags to use to find new suggestions. I keep a list of books at home which I have read and enjoyed but the order is random and not by topic, so now I will keep that list on Library Thing and be able to use it at work to make suggestions to customers.

Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful site.
