About meRight now my picture is the "War Ration" mark from a copy of "Candy Cane" that I recently came across at a hotel. It seemed bookish.
You know what is hilarious? The rating system. I can see how it's helpful, but sometimes it strikes me how funny it is. I mean, I have given five stars to both "Relentless: The Hard Hitting History of the Buffalo Bills" and "The Iliad." That's a little insane -- if anything, I should be so lucky if The Iliad would rate ME as a reader.
About my libraryMy plan is to add slowly but steadily. First I am tackling the books that I've moved to our summer cottage for storage, hopefully to reduce the number of times I'm perplexed by where a particular book is kept.

You're totally right about the rating system, though the recommendations and anti-recommendations features are brilliant. I don't rate any books except sometimes if they're on my most-adored-books list and I happen to think of it while entering them. Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All is one of them, though I don't remember if I rated it, and The King Must Die is another, though I haven't reread it in many years.
