It definitely breaks the rhythm, and then you have to either input the ISBN manually or search for the book by author or title. Grrr.

I thought I introduced you to LT, Richard?? That said, I have been <em>so</em> lazy about it, and I don't think I have more that 10 books put into it. I should probably buy the scanner, but I'd hate to spend $15 on something I'd just be too lazy to use... I think I will think about it! Ahem… I thought I introduced you to LT, Richard??

Yeah, I need to get out more... I still have to do the rest of the books in the house now that the most important (quilting!) books are done. :) It doesn't sound as if I have as many as you though, thankfully, though that probably means I don't read as much as I want to. I could go for a 48 hour day, and then maybe I might get to do everything I wanted to do in a day... Hey Rich,

LibraryThing is awesome. I don't make much use of the social networking aspects, but I find the ability to have an index of all the novels I own handy--particularly with so many on my shelves; I frequently forget I own books, and can't remember or find books I was sure I owned. That said, I keep forgetting to update it when I get new books. Oh well. Glad to see another adopter though. I've been following LT since the beginning, and it's a great service. Ah yes.
