LibraryThing.com
Props to Benjy over at i am paradox for the heads up on this one. He sent me an email seeing if I knew anything about LibraryThing - a website where you can catalog your library online. I hadn't heard of such a thing, so I decided to check it out. It's pretty amazing [and addictive].
You add books by title/author, or you can do it by ISBN. It adds a thumbnail from Amazon, as well as a link to the page on Amazon [which is where the website makes it's income]. You can also alter the fields that are shown online for your catalog. It allows anyone to access your books and do searches by title, author, year, etc. One of the cool features is that it shows how many people on LibraryThing have the same book in their library. You can also sign up for a rss feed when books are added to catalogs you are watching.
Did I mention that it's pretty addictive? Consider yourself warned!
You can see what's on my bookshelf here.
I told you brotha! So glad that you like it. By the way, I got McLaren's new one in yesterday, and it's way good!

Very addictive.
I am setting up different ones by category so I can come back to them.
One for theology and one for biblical studies and one for spiritual theology so far...none of them even close to done
