Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
Or maybe there's a way to make Calibre work with that.

Goodreads allows personal shelves.

Second Goodreads, I'm SKJAM over there too; you can get pretty descriptive with your shelf names. (I know a few people with "activate-insta-love" as a shelf for books where the romance element seems rushed.)
Thanks. Was away for a few weeks (thank the blessed summer) so haven't had the time to look into these yet, but the tips have been appreciated. Will spend some time clicking on things now.
Another fun thing about Goodreads shelves—once you have created half a dozen or more shelves, and stocked them, you can look at the recommendations by shelf to see what other people who read the same books you do liked. This can remind you of other books you've read that you need to add, add books to your to-read pile, or laugh at other people's horrible taste as you push the "not interested" button.
To clarify the question in the topic, I'm hoping to find a way to catalog the books I've read into a some kind of a system so I can keep track of them. Something that functions similarly as anidb for anime, just for books(myanimelist does the same as well, I gather).
I have a horrible habit of reading/watching something and then just forgetting about it unless someone else brings it up. Even if I enjoyed it. This makes it really hard to recommend things or use specific works as an example as they never pop into mind when I need them. (It's not like I forget the contents of the books, it's just that I can't access that memory without an outside prompt. Anyway, I digress.)
I'd really want to keep an easily referenced electronic list somewhere that isn't just names and authors, but maybe a way to rate the books as well. The listings of books would need to be rather comprehensive.
