The new Connect Via Books site is a social networking tool built around common interests in any number of books. After registering at this site and entering in the list of books that you own, the site will let you search for other members with the same books, using your location and other options to narrow the search. For example, you could use this site to hunt for job-seekers who have read a particular set of books to develop their skills.
