101.89 Sort read/unread books

101 Things

Carried away by reading a whole ten books in January, I thought I'd reassess (and reorder, and reshelve) the Unread Books. 491 fiction, plus a heap of non-fiction, graphic novels, Teach Yourself Visual Basic 3 in 21 Days and so forth. On the one hand, that's enough books to keep me going for ten years given my average recent reading rates if I don't get any more. On the other, 9 more books would make it a nice round number :-) and I do need to leave some space for Book Club.

491? lightweight.

You can pick nine of mine to make it up to a nice round number!

Since you have 'em in a spreadsheet, how about doing LibraryThing? You can do a mass import ...

Um, by "spreadsheet" I mean 27 rows, one for each letter of the alphabet plus one for anthologies/miscellaneous, then a column each for hardbacks, paperbacks and trade paperbacks, holding the number of books by authors with that surname initial :-)
