Reading list in Org-mode:I finally choose to use one headline per book.Set the book author, editor, genre, type, volume n°, etc as headline property.For read status, I use my TODO/IN-PROGRESS/DONE status.For meta infos, like "to by", "borrowed" or "lent", I use tags.For capturing new book, I use Org-capture with a template that put the book at the bottom of my reading list.If I got multiple volumes in one series, I create a headline to group themes.If I want to add notes on a book, I first add to it a subsection called "Notes" with the tag "notes". Like that, when I create a column-view, or any other search with org-ql, I can exclude my notes.BUT, their is one thing I didn't found a solution: How can I easily capture multiple volumes in one time without repetition ?#OrgMode#Emacs

@fox Whoah, that's a cool idea! I didn't think of using capture templates and any other automation to manage book notes, doing everything by hand all the time instead.This sounds especially useful for research!- Find "TOREAD" candidates; - screen and "DISCARDED" where necessary, - then process those texts that you've read. With the power of org-mode "cookies" you can even show % progress. 🤔

@fox @ctietze If you enter all the fields in capture template manually, you can simply `org-copy-subtree`, `org-paste-subtree`, and edit the fields that needs to be changed. Although I personally use https://github.com/yantar92/org-capture-ref to capture books and articles automatically from their web pages, or by DOI/ISBN - most of the books already have metadata available online anyway.
