track the books I read

I’ve downloaded Bookpedia and I LOVE this! If I see something at Amazon that I have, I can just pull the link into the Bookpedia list and the whole catalog entry gets generated for me! I can also keep a Wish List in the same way (and have). And Bookpedia will output a webpage catalog of all my books, so I can show them off! http://www.bruji.com/bookpedia/

I also like http://librarything.com (LibraryThing) where you can catalog your library AND connect with other people who have the same books.

There are a couple of places related to 43things.com that can help you track books you’ve read.

At http://listsofbests.com/ you can read lists of books (award-winners, recommendations, or lists of what other people have read) and get reminded of which ones you have read. As you check them off, they are added to your list of “things consumed” at http://allconsuming.net/

Then, if you choose, you can add those books to your own list of “Books I’ve read.” All of those lists get compiled automagically into one, and you can see how many others have read the same book.

Another way of listing books you have read is at http://bookcrossing.com/ (this is not directly tied in to the 43things network; however, a number of people are members of both sites).

You do not have to release a book that you register at Bookcrossing. You can list books you are in the process of reading; then, when you have finished, list them as part of your”Permanent Collection,” or as “Available” for trade, or pass them on and list them as “Traveling.” By listing what you read at Bookcrossing, you not only keep a record of your reading, you have a chance of discussing those books with other readers.
