Following several months of development by me and lots of testing by the members of the Wednesday chat brin-l-books is probably ready for you all to try :)
http://books.scattersoft.com
An interactive web site where you can view and vote on books. The initial lists are compiled from lists of award winning books, books mentioned on list, and recommendations from the testers on the Wednesday chat.
The site allows searching by author and category, and has a 'new books' feature for returning visitors that shows titles added since their last visit.
To initially register on the site you need to provide a working email address which is used to email you a URL for activation. To use the site you need to have cookies enabled on your browser (but you can clear them when you leave).
It seems to be off to quite a good start :) Several of you have registered and between you cast hundreds of votes. Of Dr Brin's books we can see that _Startide Rising_ and _Kiln People_ are the most popular. Surprisingly, neither of these has a '10' rating although several books by diverse other authors have managed that...

"The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible."
