About my libraryI use LibraryThing to record my reading, not just the books I own. About three quarters of the books on my LibraryThing account are physically on my bookshelves; others I've borrowed from the library, friends or whatever. My ratings are entirely personal and do not represent considered judgements about literary merit (so a book that I loved as a nine year-old might get five stars and a great English novel with which I struggled with might only rate two stars).

***** Books I can't live without; will have read most several times. Also books of special personal and sentimental interest.
**** Excellent and highly recommended.
*** A good read.
** Ho-hum...
* Wish I'd spent the time reading something else.
