You seem to prodigiously "rate" the work in your collection. That is just about the hardest thing for me; I can work with it, even criticize and compliment, but when it comes to RATING, maybe I just have no Standards. So, how do you do it?

For a concrete example, of the books we share....

Bamford (Puzzle Palace) and Farah (Blood Diamond) get "3"s, and they probably risked their lives to write these books. Hmmm. Drexler wrote a fine book but no one accuses him of breaking the story, solving any problems, or facilitating the techs he presents, and you give him a "4". I am pretty sure he gets at least a "4" but then again...well, that's my problem; just no Standards! So how do you do it?
