What I'm interested in reading and what I own right now.

This little thing below is a fun feature provided by LibraryThing.com. For up to 200 books it's free. It indexes the Library of Congress website as well as Amazon.com so you can catalog and categorize and "tag" your books - and it provides widgets that can show books in your current list. Like the list below. Fun, Huh?

I am also providing some book lists in various categories.
