ChainReading - A Book Tracking Site

I'm trying a free (rails-based) site for tracking books. It's called Chain Reading and has most of the features I've been using for tracking books here on the twiki. It also has tagging, recommendations, suggestions, rss, and a few other features.

So far I rather like it. On the negative side, it is pretty slow, and the crucial book search functionality seems ineffective. Anyway, I'll try it for a couple weeks in parallel with my twiki-based booklist, and see how it goes.
