A great social network for sharing books - Anobii

I'd like to share with you a great website I've found which you can use to set up an online book club for students. www.anobii.com allows you to create a bookshelf. Just enter the titles or ISBN numbers of the books you want to put on the record, and then the book covers will appear on your shelf, complete with links to Amazon and Google and reviews written by other users of the site. You can post comments on books and indicate whether you have started reading, how far you've got, how many marks you would award the book out of five and so on. You can also insert links to the books on your shelf into your blog or website, which will appear as thumbnails of the book covers. The site also allows you to indicate whether you are willing to trade or swap the books on your shelf, and recommends you to view the shelves of people who have similar interests to you.

For students, you can set up a private group which can only be viewed by people you send an e-mail invitation to. In this way, classmates can share their book recommendations and swap books.
