Table of Contents
Policy
Policy:
- Once you finish reading the book, move the entry to goodreads.
- sort order: Latest read book comes first.
Why:
- Goodreads assumes that you read from beginning to end. But I tend to read couple of pages here and there. This is my naive way to keep track of the progress.
