I started keeping a list of the books I bought for the same reason that others have mentioned here - I kept buying books twice (or three times, or...)

I started with an Excel spreadsheet, then moved to keeping the list in a program called ListPro that I bought with my first PDA. To keep the filesize from being too unwieldy, I have them split by mainstream publisher (e- or print), independent publisher (exclusively e), and Harlequin. I also have a separate listing for non-fiction.

I only started keeping a separate "Reading List" in 2005 as a part of an online challenge to read 50 books in a year. (*snort*, I did that in 2 months!)

It's nice to keep it in ListPro, because it goes with me wherever I go, as long as I'm carrying my PDA.
