For all of you who secretly want to be a librarian there is LibraryThing | Catalog your books online:
What is LibraryThing?
LibraryThing is an online service to help people catalog their books easily.
What software does it require?
None. If you can read this, you can use LibraryThing.
What does it cost?
A free account allows you to catalog up to 200 books. A paid lifetime account allows you to catalog any number of books. At present and for the forseeable future lifetime accounts cost just $10. I conservatively predict the revenue will enable me to recline all day on an enormous pile of gold.
What else does LibraryThing do?
In addition to cataloging your own library, LibraryThing allows you to check out other people's libraries, tells you who has similar tastes, etc. With only a few users, this is pretty useless (nor is the functionality fully developed). As the number of users picks up, this will become increasingly interesting and powerful.
