Thought: Authors Database

In thinking about the many possible uses - beyond what already exists (and there is no doubt that this is an extremely powerful tool already) - I had a thought.

It would be nice if there could be a feature so that one could build an authors database that is connected/associated with the books library.

What I mean is a place where information on the particular author could be stored and added to - beyond just the name (or being able to sort the books by author).

In this biographical information and related material could be placed - and could easily be accessed while using the library.

Its just a thought - I know it goes a little beyond the library functionality - but I think it is related and would make this an even more productive tool - particularly for those who use it for research based reading.

I'd be happy to hear any thoughts (and criticisms) of my idea.

I don't have the ability to program this - so its just thrown out there in case someone who sees the merits and has that skill might take it on as a project.
