I haven’t had any luck with [chainreading.com](http://chainreading.com) working, but I have fiddled around a bit with [librarything.com](http://librarything.com) and since they DO allow you to export your data into a meaningful format, I have decreed this is the one I shall use.

I have searched for a SDMB group there with no such luck, even though I do like reading your recommendations, so I am starting one up.

Here is a link to my profile:

I’ve only added 148 books so far, I have many that predate UPC and ISBN and Library of Congress numbers, so it has been slow going. I hope to slug through all the oldies and breeze through the new ones.

FYI, I do believe you can import data into librarything also.

FWIW, my copy of A Suitable Boy is on its way because of you folks.
