Have you considered using Calibre for managing your books? You can have book covers -- put your on tags etc. That way you have a lot more information than just the file name.

Also, fwiw, I keep my own "to be read" list updated. Right now I have about 80 some odd books on it. Whenever I get a new ebook (bought or free) -- I place it SOMEWHERE on my list and sometimes with a "why am I interested in this book" type comment.

Example: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZ...AzcDhjZA&hl=en

I find it helps me to consider up front where a particular book would fall in my reading plan -- because many times I'll think "I'll never get around to reading this book" and therefore don't bother buying it or even downloading it for free.
