Random Observation

[unforth]

It vaguely horrifies me to notice that 4 times as many LibraryThing users own "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" than own "Hamlet."

To be fair, a lot of people probably have their Hamlet in a Complete Works. For instance, I have probably four or five copies of Hamlet in various forms because plays usually come collected.

Alas, poor Snape. I knew him Ron....

Oh no! Your post finally made me start a LibraryThing account...

What's with the 200 books limit for the free account though? I put in 50 books in just a few minutes from memory, without looking at the bookshelves....

why should that surprise you? I mean, yes, Shakespeare is super classic, and folks who are well read should all read it and stuff. (all of this being said, i have no idea what "LibraryThing" is, so I might just be showing my stupid) but as far as something being user friendly and readable? Harry Potter is much better suited for the majority of readers out there. I will admit, if I had to choose a book to read in my spare time, I'd probably pick Harry Potter, it doesn't hurt my brain as much. Even though I do love Shakespeare very much (but I prefere to see them than to read them)
