If you are an avid reader, there's a new site that will help you create an online bookshelf to keep track of all your books.

LibraryThing.com gives you a place to rate and review your books, and set reminders if you've lent out one of your favorite reads. It will also connect you to other members.

You can check out other people's libraries, see who has the most similar library to yours and swap reading suggestions.

Use the site's social networking tools to set up book clubs, pick books of the month and set meeting times.

A free account allows you to catalog up to 200 books. For $10 per year, you can store as many books as you want.
