As an avid reader, I usually have a pretty long list of books I want to read. When I was a teen, I had a bookshelf dedicated to my "to be read" books: I would shelf my library books and the books I bought, and as I finished reading each book, I would wander over to the shelf to pick out my next read.
Unfortunately, as I have added years to my age, I've also added books to my reading list -- a LOT of books.
I read almost exclusively on my Nook now, which actually helps me to organize. First of all, digital books don't take up as much room as if I were trying to shelf physical copies of all of them. And thank heavens for the shelving system on the Nook -- I have two different shelves, "Next" and "Soon," to help me organize and prioritize the books I still need to read. And as my reading list grows (thanks to all the free and inexpensive ebooks that I find on a regular basis), I've actually thought of creating a third shelf too, one for books that I would like to read but that are fairly low priority.
I'm the kind of person who likes to organize things, so having my reading list organized and prioritized, at least somewhat, makes me feel that I can more readily find the next book I want to read. It also helps me to priotize books that I have a limited time to read, such as library books and book club selections.
What about you? Do you have any methods for managing or organizing your reading list?
