When we're not cataloging books for the Gleason Library, we've been playing with LibraryThing, a website where users can catalog their own books (or books they've read) and browse other people's collections. Enter a title into the Suggester and see what books are popular with fans of that book (click on a title for more information and user reviews).
You can tag your books with labels (browse a cloud of the most popular tags on the site here) and search by labels to see what books are popular with other users. Getting ready for the National Day of Climate Action on Saturday? Books that users have tagged with "climate change" are found here, from nonfiction to science fiction. With over 11 million books cataloged, there are thousands of books with tags from time travel to botany to pirates.
For a final bit of fun, you can also play with the UnSuggester, to find out what books are least popular with people who share your taste.
