Did I ever tell you about LibraryThing? It is what I am using at home to organize my book collection. At its most basic, it enables users to build their own web-based catalog, using information from Amazon.com, the Library of Congress and over 40 other major libraries.
It's fairly easy to add titles to your online collection; note that you can make your collection private or public. You can add your own tags, edit any of the fields, and even note what date you purchased the book, when you started reading it and when you finished. You can import your Wish List from Amazon.com. Your catalog can be sorted by author, title, tag, publication date or even by how many other LibraryThing users also own the book. LibraryThing has tools to generate what must be the geekiest stats you can imagine from a catalog.
I know, I know. You think this a site only a librarian could love. But it is still wicked cool!
