My wife sent me a link to this neat social site yesterday.
It is a networking site for people who enjoy reading. You create a virtual bookshelf for books you have read, are reading, and want to read. You can have friends and groups like any other social site of course. The software also allows you to review and comment on the books. Their review capabilities are pretty limited however. So far I have not figured out how to create links in the reviews, but some simple HTML formatting tags work. Another neat feature is the ability to track loaned books.
The site seems fairly new, and they have some work to do still, but so far I like it.
Oh yeah, you can create widgets for your blog, like the one on the right that shows what I am currently reading.
So, if you are so inclined, join up, and send me a friend invite.
