I have seen your java script and I will probably try to make my own when I have updated my profile with a few books. I am pretty sure I will continue using it and probably also integrate it into the blog as well (when I have time). Thanks for your feedback Atle.

The blog post you link to pretty much sums up my views on LT, and yes, the API lets you do several interesting things indeed (see for example: http://folk.ntnu.no/atlefren/js/), but not everything is possible. I tried making a script to fetch a random quote from a random book in my library, but haven't figured out how to do that (http://www.librarything.com/topic/49042). Another promising feature is "Will You Like It?" as described on http://www.librarything.com/blog/2009/01/will-you-like-it.php And I gather that you found out that the support for uploading your own covers or using other member-contributed covers are quite useful. Amazon tends to be rather lacking on norwegian book covers :) Congratiulations on becoming a thingamabrarian!
