Since you have bookcrossing & bookmooch up there (I love the latter), you might also want to visit swap.com and paperbackswap.com. Swap.com initiates trades between 2 or 3 people for books you want, while paperbackswap is similar to bookmooch. Swap.com will allow you to import your wishlist in from another source.

I use goodreads as my place to inventory books I decide to keep after reading, and my bookmooch wishlist is where I keep my list of 800+ books and growing that I want to read at some point.

Great entry! I found this entry from 20SB! I love reading too but I don't use social networking sites... I just use a Wordpress plugin on my blog to record my books. I'm sure no one visits that page but it's my favorite page on my site. =P

Elysa, this is exactly how it happened to me. As soon as I graduated college I became a book reader. I have never read fiction and just can't get into it. It's funny, I walk around the bookstore and see all these great books, but always gravitate to the business section. The outliers here were Da Vinci Code and Bridges of Madison County - Girl I was dating gave it to me.

I became obsessed with Tom Peters when I read the Pursuit of Wow. This was in '94 or '95 and since then I read business books like the ones you mention, sales and marketing and personal development. Currently reading, Who's Got Your Back after I saw Keith Ferrazzi live. Alo very powerful.

Ugh Elysa. I might just have to join Good Reads now. When I'm social networked out, it will be your fault. I'm considering this payback for making you watch Glee ;)
