Ask HN: What do you use to manage your reading list?

Posted by sadlyNess on Saturday August 06, 2011 @04:00AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Too many books to read and I keep forgetting where i noted down the titles. Is there a to-read manager you keep your book list on?

I use http://goodreads.com. It's been around a long time and I like the community features for keeping up on what my friends are reading. I also use it to keep an eye on forum discussions about movies sinc I figured out it's a great place to get qualified film tips. Apparently people who enjoy reading books that I enjoyed, enjoy watching films that I (might) like too.

As a reading log, I use LibraryThing. I enter books I buy, and mark them as read when I'm done, sometimes with a rating and note. You can also enter books you don't own, like wish-lists or to-buy lists.

Textfile titled 'to-read' in a dropbox folder. Working okay so far.

I have a folder on my USB flash with folder for bunch of papers I'm going to read.

I'm also writing in my cell phone references for later searches and reads.

Amazon now owns the service I mentioned, shelfari, and ties in directly to wish lists and purchases I believe.
