This week's question: -LibraryThing's Recently Added feature: do you look at it? Do you use it for ideas? Is there something listed there now that looks interesting to you? What have you added to your LT library recently?My answer: I look at Recently Added every now and then; sometimes the updates scroll by so quickly it's hard to concentrate on it for long! Allegories of Reading: Figural Language in Rousseau, Nietzsche, Rilke, and Proust is up on my home page as recently-added right now, and it looks like an intriguing if academic work. Lately I've added a few things, though nothing today. I added the second collection of the Pocket Canon series, a set of slipcased miniature books. Each book covers a section of the King James Bible and includes commentary by writers and thinkers like Meir Shalev, A.S. Byatt and the Dalai Lama. I'm hoping its bite-sized presentation of a work which has long intimidated me will help make the Bible more approachable for me. And you?

Nuts! I wanted to be first! But mine is here
My answer is up here. With a question of my own, too.
I'd be intimidated by the Bible, too, although that commentary sounds very interesting.
It's been a while since I posted a Tuesday Thinger as I've been away from home a lot of Tuesdays, so I've missed a few topics. I think this one is very interesting and it has added yet another book to my wish list, as if I needed any more!
My answer is here.
I have mine posted also.

That does sound like a good book Marie!
Here is my post (with cat pic per usual).
I tend not to use the feature, mainly because I've already got a stack of books waiting on my to-read pile, with twice as many on my Amazon wishlist.
Oh, I'm supposed to answer this on my own blog, aren't I? Oops, sorry, but I've already written one book-related post today anyway. (Including a review of the book I most recently added to my Librarything list.)
Mine is up. Thanks, Marie!
My answer is here
Interesting question, as always!
I don't use "recently added" often, but I've written more about "connection news" and my answer to "what have you added recently"
It's all here:

My head is in the cloud as to what new features LT has added; but I do browse other people's libraries for ideas. I'm obsessed with everyone's "median obscurity" and dig those unheard-of books. :)
My LT Stats.
I just added mine here: http://writeforareader.edublogs.org/2008/10/07/tuesday-thingers/
I'm new to LT, so not much to say.
I actually use "Connection News" more; here's my answer.
You can find my entry here.
I'm late but my post is here. I am looking forward to visiting to read other's replies because I think I am missing something about this feature. Hmmm.
I love this feature! My post is here!
