About me I am what I am
About my library It is what it is.
If you see a rating, that means I've read the book. If you don't see a rating, that means either I haven't read it yet or don't remember it well enough to rate it...which means I should probably read it again. All the books listed here are on my shelves, however...and a few are sitting on the floor, 'cause I have no more room on the shelves. But does that stop me from buying more? Nooooooooo.
Regarding the ratings (I'll flesh this out more later), I pretty much start from a four-star scale. A book can be technically excellent and deliver the goods. Obviously, I have books I rate higher than four stars. These are works that I feel are worth more than something that is merely "excellent". Five stars means it reaches a certain level of transcendence for me on a personal level. 4 and a half is somewhere between those two. Three is a good, decent read. Two is not so much. One is just awful and it would be a rare thing, indeed, for me to recommend anything that low.
Regarding tags, I make some distinctions with tags that may not be very common. Alternate history denotes fictional stories in an alternate history. Alternative history contains books that offer an alternative version of history on this earth using facts and speculation that orthodox historians either don't or won't take into account. Likewise, supernatural refers to fictional works and creatures while paranormal refers to things that are being studied in our world, usually consisting of things that leave evidence such as ghosts, UFOs, and cryptozoological creatures.

Man! I haven't chatted with you in a LONG time! How goes it?
Apropos of nothing, what do you think of Vince Neil? I love his studio voice, but for farts sake, his live vocals? Half the time he's just shouting gibberish into the mike in high falsetto. Just a small rant. Whatta think of the new single? Personally, I love it.

It was nice talking to you in the GD chat. Sorry to have left so soon. I got disconnected and couldn't get back in again. lol. Not so surprizing really, since that was the first time I had actually been able to get in there while someone other than My Girl Rosie was there.
Anyways, I enjoyed our conversation. It was nice meeting you and so great to have someone to complain to about the recent BookMooch disaster that wouldn't chuck me in the head with a cardboard box for even bothering to join the site. *chuckle* Ah well, c'est la vie. Live and yearn and all that stuff. blah blah blah.
Take care & hope to chat again soon. :)
