It’s not easy to sit and think of every book you’ve ever read, but that’s where you might find yourself if you take a trip over to bookjetty.com. You can list any book you’ve ever read, or want to read, or are thinking about maybe reading some day in the far off future when you have absolutely nothing else to do but read. After you list them, you can rate them, and you can see who else on the site may have read that book, or that might want to read that book, and possibly drum up a discussion about it. I think it’s a grand idea, but the site seems to still be in it’s very early (beta) infant stage.  It could stand to use quite a few more users so you could find someone with whom to interact other than the site’s creator.  Although, I don’t know how you get anyone to admit he reads books, and if he is reading books then what is he doing on the Internet?  I have no idea.

Anyhow, I think there’s a bit of nonsense I can find for myself, and at the very least it gives me a reason to sit for a while trying to remember any book I might have read in the past.  And does it count if I know I read the book, but I don’t really remember what it was about?  Can you consider that reading then?  I don’t know.  It’s not important.  Read a book.  Check out the site.
