How do people organize their reading? Perennially frustrated by this. I want one system that lets me trivially add books, papers, webpages, etc, re-organize very easily, search & filter. What works for you?

I guess what I want is a good queue, a queue I can trust, and which lets me very, very easily put all long-form content in, including Kindle books and webpages and papers.

But the queue should also be very, very easily reconfigurable. It's not something to be a slave to, but rather something to help you make good decisions.

All my wishing aside: what do you do? Maintain a list? Use an app? What? Any tips that have made it better?

I use
@TiddlyWiki for this. I organize all of my readings as PDFs in a couple folders under a Papers/ directory. I use tiddlywiki to keep track of all of my files and easily tag, filter, and search them. Since TW is just javascript, I've crafted a completely custom system myself!1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

That's really interesting. Is it public anywhere?

Is there a sort of common use case you can describe in detail? Do you go back and consult the list of all papers?

My favorite feature is the "last touched". I sort by this so that when I come across a paper I haven't read yet, I "touch" it using the calendar button which "floats" it to the top of my reading list. As I add new papers that are "touched" after it, it naturally fades away.
