I found a cool tool, well two actually but a moderator might have to take down the second one because I'm not sure about it. I'm not promoting it as part of it you would have to pay "if you choose to do it" but you don't have to as the program is free otherwise.
I have read a couple of times people asking about what everyone is reading or asking for suggestions for books. Here is a tool that is really cool. Try it and see what you think. Basically you can click on 4 bars (choices of words) and then move a little sliding arrow to move it from extremes if you want (don't worry there is a demonstration for this all). Then it will give you a list of suggestions of book titles with comments by a reader along with parallel books that are like it and excerpt from the book. I thought it was really neat anyway. Maybe you will, maybe you won't.

Now for the second. It is a program that catalogs the books "you" have but also does more. You can do 200 for free. After that then it ask for a charge, yearly then lifetime ( I think reasonable but hey, I'm not promoting here). It looks like a social networking type site for book lovers. Again, if the moderators deem this as inappropriate feel free to take this one down:
