reading lists?

[catechism]

Okay, I am curious how you guys handle reading lists. At any given time, I am roughly four years behind in my fic-reading, and I keep trying to figure out how to manage it. On the one hand, it doesn't matter; I've been around quite long enough to know how to find fic, thanks very much. On the other hand, what if something really good gets posted and I forget about it?! Not acceptable!

I have tried a bunch of things: tagging things as "toread," having a separate del account just for the reading list, saving stories to my hard drive, and on and on and on. But in the end, here are the features of my ideal system:

1. Synced reading list. I have four computers in various places. (All Macs.) Soon I'll have five. Some of them I use regularly, some of them I do not. But I want my reading list to be the same on all machines, or else I spend all my time staring at links and updating my lists to reflect what I read six months ago on the PowerBook. This is my OCD talking, I know, but whatever. My reading list must be the same every time I look at it, and that has to require very little effort on my part.
   
   
2. Offline reading. This is the reason del-as-reading-list doesn't work for me. When I'm on the internet, finding new fic isn't really a problem. When I am not online, though (hey, it happens!), it's an issue. I don't want to carry around thumb drives or remember to take five hours before I go on vacation to download fic. What am I going to be in the mood for? How do I know what to download? I can open a million tabs in Firefox, sure, but what if my browser crashes? And on and on. It's just nice to be able to read fic offline, is all I'm saying. Maybe I don't do it all that often, but I do it often enough for this to be an important feature of My System.
   
   
3. Easy to add fic. I want to add things to my reading list as easily as I add things to my del.icio.us. I don't want to think about it. I just want it to work.
   
   
4. Easy to funnel fic to del.icio.us. When I read something from my list, I want to be able to easily take it off my list and put it in del. Again, I don't want to have to think about this; I just want to do it.
   

The exciting part is that I actually have a system that does all of this. I feel it is kind of awesome, but because I have been kind of inundating you guys lately with weird shit about My System, I would like to hear about YOUR reading lists! What do you require from a system? What are you doing now? What am I missing that would make this list even more spectacular than it clearly is already?

The one thing I can think of is that it's very dependent on having a Mac. If I were suddenly to have to use a PC, I would be shit out of luck.

Hit me!
