LibraryThing is a fun site which allows users to put their libraries online which helps comparisons and recommendations based on users libraries. The new project launched by LibraryThing is really cool it puts online famous people’s libraries, the project is called I see dead people’s books.
Try it out and browse the libraries of Sylvia Plath, Mozart, W.H. Auden, Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson. Lots of new old libraries are on the way – this is a cool idea I like this bibliophile voyeurism.
