Book catalog site?

Today I brought home some more of my books. For now they are in the closet, till I can clean them properly (don't ask).

Mostly Science Fiction, with assorted other genres.

I was thinking.... it might be worth the time to catalog them as I clean and shelve.

Anyone have any recommendations for a cataloging web site?
(update: Taking a look at Shelfari right now...)

Hmm.... Librarything.com said I could only list 200 books, and after that a yearly fee.

Is it worth it?

I like librarything better because it gives you an actual cataloging of your books (dewey decimal, ISBNs, etc) - I don't really see that on shelfari (which seems to be more of a social networking site, rather than a pure book cataloging tool). And it's only a $25 lifetime fee on librarything. Not really a bad deal.

I'll look closer at librarything before making too many more Shelfari entries......
Good thoughts Breda...
You are right.. if it suits, then $25 is not too much.
