WorldCat for Sharing Lists of Books

Today I created a list in World Cat of Recommended Reads:
http://www.worldcat.org/profiles/gresselj/lists/5632
In order to set this up you have to create an account in WorldCat. It's very simple to search World Cat and then set up a variety of lists for citation lists, for subject bibliographies, for personal reading lists, etc. You can keep the list private or make it viewable by the public. You can also share your list with others, link it to your blog or webpage, or search other people's lists. Give it a spin. I think there could be useful ways to promote reading with librarian generated lists.
