I just started keeping a list this year since being on these boards. It's just an Excel spreadsheet with one worksheet for books I've read & one for my TBR's. READ shows Author, Title, Series name if there is one, Date Read, New Author to me, Comments (usually just a few words). This list is sorted by date read, then author, but being in Excel it's easy to sort it another way, such as Author, when I want to. TBR is basically the same but instead of Date Read I have a column showing if I've requested or bought it yet. I have this one sorted by requested/bought or not, then by Author. It's not a perfect system, but at least I have some information if I'm trying to remember what I've read, or look for something to read. Too often in the past, I've read & liked something, then later can't remember the author or title to read more.

<I used to keep a list of the books I had read on my palm pilot, but I haven't used my palm in ages!
I should do something about it, because I am a scatter-brain at times.. I guess that will just have to be something on my to do list.
But at the same time, I am not a speed reader...(usually).
