One ISBN (or Goodreads entry), one book. I mainly use Goodreads to track my reading, and I specifically use their challenge widget to set my goal, so it only makes sense to enter my books into that library.

In the long run, it all balances out, as I read some graphic novels and self-published short stories (like Seanan McGuire's InCryptid prequel series). Further, in this specific case, the omnibus includes a couple of short stories along with the three novels, so I'd have to find a way to account for those if I split it up.
