About meI'm a recovering journalist who is trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life besides follow Bruce Springsteen around on tour. When I grow up I'd like to enter graduate school in Library and Information Science, with an emphasis on archival management.

About my libraryI have been woefully unmethodical about adding books. I've added a bunch of my textbooks from the last couple of years of school, and then a random selection of books as I pull them out to re-read them (or read them for the first time).

My rating scale (with thanks to girlunderglass for the inspiration):
★ - hated it/possibly didn't even finish it (lousy)
★★ - it was okay, I suppose (mediocre)
★★★ - enjoyed it (good)
★★★★ - loved it! (very good)
★★★★★ - all-time favorite (amazing)
Average rating: (3.39)

Hey there - no need to apologize, I'm flattered :)
What you need to do for the "average rating to appear on your profile page is this.
1. Go to your statistics page where it shows your average rating
2. Right click on the stars and click "copy link location"
3. Into the part of your profile where you want it to show insert < img src="" > WITHOUT THE SPACES in the beginning and end. Maintain the space between img and src though.
4. Click once in between the apostrophes and click paste.
The code should now look something like this, but without the spaces everywhere:

< img src = " http://static.librarything.com/pics/s7.gif " >

The only space that should remain is the one between img and src.
Hope this helped!
How many of your books do you actually have in your LibraryThing? I've still got scads that aren't cataloged yet.

However, I do agree with the basic question. It is interesting to wonder about, isn't it?
