I think I may like LibraryThing more than Shelfari. It seems to be more geared towards librarians, whereas Shelfari is more for the general public. The search engine seems to be about the same--it searches amazon and the library of congress, both of which have fairly extensive collections. The only frustrating thing about both Shelfari, LibraryThing and the Visual Bookshelf they have on Facebook is how long it takes to put all the books in. But, that's the price you pay for reading a lot. I found some interesting topics in the "LibraryThing For Librarians" forum/group, including one about neoconservative/neoliberal biased books being passed off as academic.
Oh, also, my page on LibraryThing is: http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jackster
