Some of you might recall how back in 2002, the webmaster for MyJewishBooks.com posted a message on hasafran asking us to share which book(s) we were reading at that time, so that he could put the answers up on his website.
You can still see / read the answers at http://www.myjewishbooks.com/whatareureading.html Though I thought that this was a nice idea (and still do), it is a bit laborious to keep sending the webmaster messages (e.g. I am no longer reading XXX. I'm now reading YYY). A more efficient way to share with others what you have read, are reading, or are planning to read is to go to one of the virtual shelf websites that have cropped up on the Internet. Among them are : Library Thing http://www.librarything.com List Book http://www.listbook.net Shelfari http://www.shelfari.com Good Reads http://www.goodreads.com Good Reads has a Groups section. Today I added the group Judaica Librarians, which may be found at http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/10461.Judaica_Librarians If you have (or will be signing up for) a Good Reads account, please feel free to join the group and add books to the Group Bookshelf (which is empty at the moment).
