Track short stories individually (exclude from book finishing achievements)

It'd be lovely to be able to rate, review, track, etc. short stories without worrying about which collection they happen to be in when you read them.
This would involve inventing a separate class of object from "book", so I understand this could be a heavy lift.

I would love this. My stats are all screwed up from this past summer because I entered in short stories individually as books so it looks like I read A LOT of books when it was really just a lot of short stories for the Hugos.
devrose It didn't really occur to me to do this -- good idea. There's a checkbox at the bottom of the "Add a new book" form that says "Not a book" and "'Not a book' status is for records that do not represent what is typically considered to be a 'book', such as fanfiction."
I think my keeping track of individual short stories is equivalent to someone keeping track of fanfiction, so I'll just start adding them with that checkbox.
Maybe this request should be "Add a checkbox for short story", but seems the same to me.
