About meSt. John's College, New Mexico, 2012. It's "the Great Books school", and I expect to end up with a lot of them.
About my libraryFight ratings inflation! It's not as bad here as on Amazon, but there are more 5 star ratings than 1, more 4 than 2.
I try to curve my ratings to a normal distribution (bell curve). You can check my stats (http://www.librarything.com/profile/Auda...) to see how I'm doing.
Anything I rate 2 stars or above is worth reading.

I like your comment about the ratings. I probably should wait a week before I rate book because often if I rate it right away it will be based more on feelings rather than merit. Although, if I rate a book 2 stars I considered it pretty much a waste of time, 1 star I probably threw it across the room--or didn't finish it (which almost never happens) and 1/2 star means it's a candidate for burning--something I am normally completely opposed to. :-D
