not the thing for me #8

I've had another look at Library Thing, having first set up an account a couple of years ago, and then ignored it. I just don't really get much out of it, despite the fact that I enjoy reading, discussing what I've read, and hearing about good reads discovered by others. Again, it is a case of one more thing to log in and out of, for relatively little benefit, when (as the badges say) I'd rather be reading.

But if other people enjoy using it, I don't see any harm in adding Library Thing reviews to catalogue records, as many libraries are now doing. And it is potentially very useful for very small libraries as a cataloguing tool.
