Goodreads.com

Upon a recommendation from the BookcrossingUK Yahoo group, I registered with Goodreads.com and already find it very entertaining, useful and very well organised. This is a perfect site for people who read much and care enough to keep track of the books they read. Also, it can serve as a good source of reading recommendations.
