In other words, it's easy to find people who share a lot of popular books or classics, but harder to find someone who has a large percentage of my favorite books on China or Japan. When I find such a person, I look at their reviews.

I look at the other libraries sometimes, but I never really use it for anything. Same here, I just like to see where people I know are on my rankings.

But all that really told me was that some people have libraries that are just as eclectic as mine is. Don’t think I would ever have thought of using the feature for anything else. And I’m still not sure what the difference is between all the different tab views. I’ve used it a couple of times to check out libraries similar to mine.

I'd rather connect with other readers through something like shelfari.
