Nerds Unite!
Web sites for bibliophiles offer new ways to explore the world of books. BookSwim.com provides a Netflix-style service to those whose power-reading habits can get pricey with frequent trips to the bookstore. For $19.99 a month, BookSwim will mail you three books at a time to be returned by mail (postage paid by BookSwim) whenever you’re finished. Also new online is GoodReads.com,a social networking site like a librarian-loaded MySpace. You can find out what your friends are reading, share reviews about your latest finds and even meet new friends based on your literary tastes.
