It was amusing when later on in the day, my coworker got there and said, "What is that?" and I explained what I was doing and he just looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Hmmm, I remember finding another list you had made. You must be really organized or something." Not counting my car or floor of my room, I am organized. Like another term I coined (lazy overachiever), I'm a messy organizer. Making a database of every CD I own is high on my list of things to do, but it won't happen because I've got my CDs all over the place (car, room, work, etc.) I've got other examples, but before you have me committed for the list making, I present to you my "What CD Should I Buy Pro/Con List":
CAMERA OBSCURA:
+Scottish
+Different
-Girl Singer
MOGWAI:
+Scottish
+Awesome
-Can't Sing Along (most are instrumental)
-Not New
STONE SOUR:
+Corey Taylor
-Harder (as in, "RWAH RWAH!")
+Nostalgic
-Nostalgic (Seriously, if one thing can take me back in time and put me in a funk, it's music.)
THOM YORKE:
+Radiohead (<3)
+Experimental
-Experimental
My list, obviously, did not get too deep, but mostly because I knew the odds of someone seeing it were high. Once I made it to Best Buy, though, the decision was made for me. They didn't have Camera Obscura and only had the Mogwais albums I already have. So I got Thom Yorke and Stone Sour because when have I ever purchased just one CD at a time?!

I can buy single CDs, but it's another matter with books. Picking one up is hardly worth it, and once you've got two in your hand you may as well get another. As a result, I tend to leave a bookshop with three purchases.
Maybe it's because I've worked in CD shops so know pretty much what's out there. Books retain that air of the unknown ...
That list cracked me up (even though I seemed distracted at the time) : )
Oh I've just discovered Camera Obscura! They're darling!
