I tried yet again to update my current reading list at allconsuming.net only to find that yet again there’s no way that I can include a book that I own. I can only read a book if Amazon can list it, or something like that. Trying to find Tim Low’s “The New Nature” simply presents me with a list of books that include something similar in the title. I can hold it in my hand and read it, I can look it up at Amazon, but I can’t convince allconsuming that it exists!

Too many times I’ve tried to add a book, too many times I can’t because allconsuming only lets me look them up by title. But wait, what’s this I’ve found… Create your own URL if you know the ISBN of a book, eg http://allconsuming.net/item.cgi?id=0670884669, and what do you know, up pops the description of the book and so I an add it to my list.
It still doesn’t help me for all those old books I own that haven’t got an ISBN, but its a step forward!
