I found the Library Thing to be an interesting concept. I like the book recommendations. I searched for a book on a topic that I am quite familiar with to see what other books were suggesting along with it. I found that the recommendations were all books that I have read, but they were good selections. Perhaps I would use this if I were venturing out to a new genre.
This would be a good jumping off point for students to utilize when writing a report.

And you've hit on the exact point of LibraryThing. It enables anyone to get suggestions for books within the same genre, which I personally find valuable. I hate spending money on a book and it was horrible. At least with a site like LibraryThing, you can get reviews from fellow readers and book suggestions as well. Great idea about students using it as well!
