Thing 11, Library Thing

I created a private account in Library Thing to see if keeping track of my books online instead of on paper will work for me. I added the science fiction title "Blindsight" by Peter Watts, my choice for the Hugo Award this year. The recommendations machine generated a very good-looking list of quality hard SF. The "unsuggester" is rife with Oprah books, certainly a category many hard SF readers would find boring. I see reader's advisory possibilities here, for sure.
Mom liked to read Victoria Holt.
