Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program.

I listened to the Audiobook of the original version years ago. My wife bought me this dead tree expanded and updated version for Christmas as it was about the only book on my LibraryThing wishlist she could find at half-price books.
