All of your ideas are helpful. I am now tied between spreadsheet or Goodreads. I guess I will ponder a little longer.

I read for pleasure only and have no idea how many books I read. Not tons like some of you. I am on my third book this week, and one was a very short story, which I don't want to count.

I think I am leaning more toward spread sheet for title and author and date read. Maybe give my own rating of it.

Very interesting thread!
My advice is to do both. My friend keeps a spreadsheet so she can track where she got the book (library, owns it, borrowed, etc.) GR doesn't have notes (Shelfari does and you can keep them private, but adding books there isn't as convenient IMO). If one method or the other falls by the wayside, you'll have figured out which one works for you!!!
