Regarding Thing 11

Library Thing has real potential to help with my increasingly unreliable middle-aged memory for titles. I thought so a couple of years ago when we learned about it at an RA training. I set up a Thing then, as a post-assignment, but it has disappeared because of my neglect of it. So, clearly there's a question: can I establish a routine of listing the titles I've read and want to remember? Rather than standing in the stacks scratching my head in frustration, I can turn to my Library Thing. The tags are a quick and dirty kind of "read alike" subject assistance.

This has been a rather plodding and uninspired post. Distracted by the first snowfall??
