Other bookish websites I like
I've started a group on Flickr called Open Library, where any Flickr peeps who've ever taken a photo of a book they're reading can upload their pics as covers on Open Library. Please feel free to contribute a photo, or join the dots by uploading photos in the pool to pages here.
I use a site called All Consuming to keep track of what I'm reading at any one time.
