About meFor me reading is escapism as well as information gathering. I'm somewhat a book snob, not caring much what's on the best seller list. Instead I look for fiction writers who are wordsmiths, stories that envelope the reader, and nonfiction that informs, presents new ideas and stimulates thought.

About my libraryMy goal is to use Library Thing to keep track of what I've been reading rather than to catalogue acquisitions or possessions. I support my public library and get very good use from it.

Thanks for sharing your review of Sarah's Key with me. It doesn't make me anxious to read it, although I know I will since it was a gift to me and one to which my cousin gave rave reviews. I hate that feeling of being obligated to read something!

In the meantime, I'll keep following your thread to see what goodies you uncover.

no stars: Not Yet Rated/Not finished reading.
1/2 star: blech. Awful and dreadful, but somehow I still managed to finish it.
1 star: Bad
2 stars: Not very good. Definitely would not recommend.
2.5 stars: Ambivalent opinion. Wasn't good, but didn't hate it.
3 stars: Pretty good. I might recommend it, but with reservations. I probably wouldn't take the time to read it again.
3.5 stars: I liked it and would probably read it again if I had time.
4 stars: Great, definitely a book to keep but maybe haven't gotten to read it again to see if my opinion is as strong but it continues to haunt me.
4.5 stars: One of my favorites.
5 stars: Best of the best; I have read it again and loved it just as much if not more the second time.
