Good Reads recently added an iPhone app. Using the app you can search for books and categorize them into virtual bookshelves. You can also keep track of the books you have read, are currently reading, and the ones you would like to read in the future. You can rate and review books and even start a virtual book club. All of these features are available using the iPhone app or directly from the website.
Are any teachers out there using Good Reads in the classroom? It sounds like it would be another great way to foster an interest in reading amongst our students.
