weRead: Books, Authors, and More!

weRead is a site for booklovers that lets you enter books that you have read and provide ratings and reviews for those titles. You can then see what other users have to say about those books and see what readers with similar tastes are reading. This is a great way to keep track of books that you have read and also find new books to read. Users can follow weRead using Twitter or take their entire bookshelf to Facebook, MySpace, and other social networking sites. Browse books by title or author or participate in a book discussion here.
