No worries. And my monkey-mask avatar is handsome and friendly and utterly approachable, and if anyone says any different I'll eat their face.

And, being topical, I'm in the 500-1000 category. But I download a lot of PD stuff that I want to read, but don't mind having there in the interim as a "just-in-case" reference. Space is cheap.

Cheers,
Marc

unfortunately, lots of the books in my list are in pdf format, and it irks me that i can find no way to make the font a bit bigger. i just read in landscape format o_o

How does everyone organize their lists?

I used to add everything to GoodReads but as my list got longer I ended up using spreadsheets lol.

wyndslash · 06-08-2011, 02:22 AM

@odi: i just add it to my GR shelf xD

Voted for 3. 100-500

Although, officially there are 151 in my TBR list on Goedreads. Then again, probably...probably there are 100+ urban fantasy I would like to read but don't have time.

I have about 441 ebooks in my unread list. And there are probably a few freebies around that I'll get to eventually.

441 is about three years of reading for me. I'm trying not to buy any more ebooks at present, but every so often some great deal comes along that I can't pass up.

Calibre says I have 238 in my unread pile, but I know there's some duplicates there (eg, a HG Wells omnibus as well as a few distinct HG Wells stories), about 30-odd from memory on my Amazon wishlist and perhaps 50 dtb's I can see on the shelf.

I take about a week on average to get through a book, so that means I'm right for (thinks) six or seven years. If I don't accumulate any more in the mean time...

Cheers,
Simon.

i'm thinking of cleaning out my TBR at GR soon :|

Does it mean books you intend to read someday or just the books you've already bought but haven't read yet?

I assumed it mean bought but not read.

Thinking about how many books I intend to read 'someday' is a bit sad. Given my life expectancy at my current age, and about 150 books a year, I'll probably only read another 5,000 or so books before I die.

I meant "owned but not read", but I guess wishlists can be fair game depending on your buying habits.
