Around the World on the wings of LibraryThing

Around the world in 80 days is probably enough to figure out LibraryThing. It is an amazing site that I would use personally to record my favourite reading material or projected dreams of reading. If's full of information (Zeitgeist) about top 50's etc..author, genre, titles. Or you can select a personal favourite of the day (The Patience Stone) and weigh in all the related works suggested for additional reads. Talk sites, reviews, chats can all drive you down unexplored trails to new adventures. It's a great site - I would use it personally, recommend it to the public as a means of perusing new books with brief descriptions to entice. It is rather busy and detailed but perserverence and patience will lead you through winding and interesting avenues. I found that The Patience Stone has 12 different covers - depending on what country it's sold in!

I really like the suggested reads following the title details in case one is interested in that particular type of novel, character, settting etc.... I guess I'm nearing the end of my travels and could sit down a while with LibraryThing to find an armchair and a good accompanying book.
