Thing #11: Folksonomies and LibraryThing

"When you know what things are really like, you can make no poems about them. When you have had talk with ghosts and connections with the devils you are, in the end, more afraid of your creditors than of them; and when you have been made a cuckold you are no longer nervous about cuckoldry. I have become too familiar with life; it can no longer delude me into believing that one thing is much worse than the other."

LibraryThing is wonderful; now I need someone to come to my house and enter all my books into it. The "recommendations machine" works brilliantly, the UnSuggester is amusing, and looking at other people's reading lists is fun. <3 <3 <3
