How do you keep up with what books you've read?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets a library book and realizes after reading a few pages that I've read it already!  I'm not old enough to be losing my memory yet!  Maybe I should start a spreadsheet??!!

Re: How do you keep up with what books you've read?

  • Goodreads.com

    You can put what books you want to and have read, as well as create other shelves to further sort them.  I had the very problem you mentioned and Goodreads has solved that.  Now I don't check out a book without consulting Goodreads.  <- No Joke. 

  • There are a few of us already on there.  

    I know BMW,  Madame, Jess&Brett, Klassy, FunkyP and Kare.  Hopefully I didn't miss anyone.

  • Thanks so much!  I'm going to check it out at lunch.
  • Yup goodreads=sanity when choosing next book. Plus I love to see what others are reading.

  • Obviously I use Goodreads based on the list above. It keeps me sane. I always check it before requesting things on PBS swap. It's helped me many, many times.

  • I had the exact same problem! In fact I did it recently too because I didn't check goodreads. After I read a few pages, I went to add it to my goodreads and realized I had already read it. Ooops. LOL!

  • I was on good reads but I didn't use it often enough to really keep up with my profile. I don't really keep track of a books I've read.

  • i can usually remember if i read the back or the jacket so i can't say i have ever bought something or checked something out that i have already read. one thing that i figured out is the kiss of death as far as that is concerned for me anyway is reading those excerpts at the end of books of an author's next book. then later the book sounds familiar and i cant figure out if i have read it or just read the excerpt. i have banned myself from reading those to avoid confusion.
