Everyone knows about Facebook and MySpace by now. They're social networks. People create profiles, link to friends, and stay in touch in various ways.

So get this...

Now there are social networks for people who love books. And there isn't just one, but at least three that I found quickly:

GoodReads.com

Shelfari.com

Bookspoke.com

I'm giving GoodReads.com a whirl -- we'll see how it goes. I like to read, I hold onto the books I enjoyed, I re-read books occasionally. And I'm always looking for new, interesting books to read. So I'm hoping a social network focused on books might be just the ticket. Browsing in Amazon.com is fun, but maybe this will take it to the next level.

Here is my profile on GoodReads, in case you care to check out the books I've read and reviewed so far:
