I was tagging all my books read in Delicious, but it has gotten fouled up by a redesign so I am just going to use Calibre for that now since Calibre has all my other book info anyway. I set up a custom field for 'date read' and so far, so good. But I have a few anthology works where I might read one book this year from it and another one next year. So how can I keep track of that? I am wondering if there might be a way to create a blank record but have it refer back to the other one. For example, create a record for 'Wuthering Heights' to indicate the date I read it, but have that refer or link somehow back to 'the Complete Bronte Sisters' if I choose it. Ideas?
