Have you ever read <a href="http://www.librarything.com/work/1488" rel="nofollow">House of Leaves</a>? It's probably not mindblowing in the way GEB is but it's the most seriously complex and fucked up book I've ever read. Ian, REPENT! Simon, I’ll have to look out for that.

Ian, REPENT!

It's a Firefox extension that compiles book, journal article, website, etc., etc. info and compiles it for footnotes/bibliography for essays/assignments, etc. You can also download a plug-in that integrates it with your word-processor client, so you can add footnotes/bibliography from there. Very cool ;) Ian, on endnote stuff, have you seen Zotero?

And I don't even know what an APA reference is. ;) Ian, I’m only using the free account and have only entered ~150 books and don’t see much need to enter too many more as I have a lot of crap that probably won’t be particularly useful.

I have quite a few more than 200 books so I am reluctant to pay just to show off ;) It might be useful if it automatically generates APA references or endnote entries though...
