LibraryThing - a social cataloguing site

Have added a new gadget - a bookshelf - after investigating the social cataloguing site LibraryThing.

The contents of the bookshelf were actually inspired by being a member of a work book group which has face to face monthly meetings.  Through it I discovered what a fascinating book the classic Brave New World by Aldous Huxley actually is.  One of those books, like Orwell's 1984, I've always meant to get round to reading at some point.  It encouraged me to hunt out other titles Huxley wrote - fiction and non-fiction.

Through LibraryThing I now have another warm, welcoming 'community' of book lovers to investigate and share thoughts with in more depth.  This time an online one with thousands of members across the world.
