What've you been reading on Shelfari?
Recently, BlogWorks joined the “bookish” social-networking craze with an account on Shelfari, an online library that joined the ranks of sites like Bibliophil and Library Thing recently.
What drove me to Shelfari, over other sites, was the design. The virtual bookshelves were very appealing and made finding titles and reviews easy. I couldn't agree more with Tech Crunch’s Michael Arrington:
- “Shelfari isn’t as big as Library Thing (key Library Thing stats here), but it is a better designed site and they have a great looking widget to show off the books you own.”
I like the option to start online discussion for the books, creating a greater sense of community for cyber bookworms.
I’ve asked some of my colleagues to add some of their favorite books, both PR-related and non-work reads. I’m curious to see if any of our readers/friendly bloggers are on Shelfari and, more importantly, if they’ll have any good books to recommend.
So, having said that, add us on Shelfari. Let us know what you've been reading.

I think if you scratch a PR/Ad person deep enough, you will find a serious lover of literature. After all, didn't we all get into this because of the love of words?
