LibraryThing suggestions

I just started using ‘meta’ tags on LibraryThing — status:read, for example. I think this could be useful, and thus I propose the following as a starting point:

status:read

I've read it, cover-to-cover, or near enough.

status:unread

Should this be implicit? I haven't read it.

status:reference

I use the volume for reference; not necessarily to read cover-to-cover.

status:reading

I'm currently reading this book.

Some of these prompt further categorisations — “given up reading” might be useful! — but we can see what emerges. Anyway, those are the ones I've used so far.

Update: I'm also using status:toread, status:partiallyread. Oh, and I bought a membership. This could get addictive….
