I'm nearly finished with the first "book" in Tanith Lee's Secret Books of Paradys. These books were originally released separately, but I still feel kind of guilty for listing them as separate, since I'm reading them in the omnibus. But the omnibus is huge! Is it maybe time for me to get over it and go ahead and list them separately, like I didn't do with The Book of Jhereg or Wraeththu?

If you had the separately bound editions, you'd unquestionably be reading several books. In the omnibus edition, you are reading the exact same text. Therefore, you are reading several books which happen to have a common spine.
On the other hand, calling LotR six books instead of three is cheating, because it was originally released as three, not six.
