Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

Mr. Abraham, driven to desperation by the endless delays of the tailor who was making him a pair of trousers, finally cried, "Tailor, in the name of heaven, it is already taking you 6 weeks!" "So?" "So, you ask? 6 weeks for a pair of pants? Reboyne Shell Oylem! It took God only 6 days to create the universe! "Nu," shrugged the tailor, "look at it...."
