About meJust a twenty-something (nearly thirty-something) book junkie.
While I am always up to date with my 'Currently Reading' collection (∧ above) I would direct anyone interested in my reading for the year to my regularly updated thread on the '250 Book Challenge' group.
About my libraryIn recent months I've had to revise my thoughts on the book rating system at LT: at present I rate based on a four star system using the fifth star strictly to differentiate between the best and the very best of books. I'm also a very critical reader so don't be surprised to find I make free use of the full rating spectrum.

I'm glad to hear you are still reading away. One can only have one Moriarty! I'm going on vacation next week, and since you are only 8 behind me you could easily catch up. Everything in my current stack is over 500 pages...
I'm trying to decide whether to read "2666" or give it back to the library. Do you think it's over-hyped?

I am v jealous! I have a full on (but dull-as) job which means that reading is relegated to bed time, holidays and commuting and the odd under-the-desk moments in the office when I just can't help myself... it means that the 75 I got through last year was a pretty mean feat for me. Plus I read pretty slowly so even if read all day every day, I don't think I could really manage a book a day without opting for the slimmest items on my shelves. Having said that, if I got rid of the TV (and my TV-junkie husband)...
