How do you keep track of everything you've read?
>>7875752
Why would you want to do this? If the literature in question makes a large impact on me I will inevitably write something about it as I read it, or reference it in the things I'm writing at the time, otherwise what on earth is the point
>>7875752
I usually just use my brain
Goodreads, basic memory
memory? if I don't remember something then I might as well not have read it at all, therefore meriting to be read again
>all these newfags tripping with their actual names
What is wrong with you people?
>>7875752
there's no need to keep track, i don't read to create a list to prove that i read, i read because i want to.
anything i don't remember on my own accord is obviously not worth remembering. the mind practises good hygiene, if something is irrelevant it will get thrown out.

Usually whenever I actively perceive something it's stored in my memory.
Comes in handy.

>reading solely for plot and not the aesthetic experience

i don't bother keeping track. seems kinda autistic to keep a record.

Can't tell if bait or just stupid.
>>7875752
I don't.
>reading quantitatively instead of searching for enlightenment
If you give reading the same treatment as going through your vidya backlog, kill yourself.
I write down a simple list with book titles and start/finish dates.

I've been wondering if I should do something like this. Has the list assisted you in some way other than just knowing what you've read? Right now I just move books from the unread pile to the read pile (I need more shelves).

I use LibraryThing for online tracking of regular books.
I don't keep track of the other things except through a commonplace book. Seeing as I almost never write the source of the quote/information/excerpt, I guess that's not really keeping track. Usually just run it through Google and can find where I got it though.

literally the whole point of goodreads
