@kiwidude:

Let me expand a little on what I described earlier. In an attempt to simplify things I was not 100% accurate.

We are actually using two custom columns, both of which are defined to use comma separated text values: #list and #read(red).

Valid text values for user Jxx (her) in #list:
  • Blank – everything else.
  • Pool/Jxx-P – look here first when creating the to-be-read stack on the table.
  • Next/Jxx-N – the to-be-read stack which used to sit on a table, typically no more than two books.
  • Current/Jxx-C – those books currently being read, typically no more than one book.
Valid text values for user Pxx (me) in #list:
  • Blank – everything else.
  • Pool – look here first when creating the to-be-read stack on the table.
    • Pxx-P1 – science fiction, newer.
    • Pxx-P2 – science fiction, older.
    • Pxx-P3 – other fiction, newer.
    • Pxx-P4 – other fiction, older.
    • Pxx-P5 – classics.
    As you can clearly surmise, if you have not done so already, I am the a***-retentative one.
  • Next/Pxx-N – the to-be-read stack which used to sit on a table, typically no more than six books.
  • Current/Pxx-C – those books currently being read, typically no more than four books.
Valid text values in #read:
  • Jxx-R – books that Jxx has read at least once.
  • Pxx-R – books that Pxx has read at least once.
Total number of books currently in the library: 454.
