About My Library
The Your Library folder I keep for novels - which I add only once I have read them - as well as anything else that might come under the literary umbrella (certain memoirs, poetry and the like). For those books I've begun but left unfinished I have a folder called 'Part-Read'. I also have two folders for non-fiction - one relating to abstract subjects and general history, and one relating to individual subjects (memoirs and biographies) - as well as a separate folder for my art books.

Regarding ratings, I tend to rate according to the quality of a book more than how much I enjoyed it (although that obviously plays a part); I reserve five-star ratings for those books which I consider either a masterpiece or of high literary value in some other respect.
About Me
In the main I prefer reading novels, tending towards the classics and science-fiction, but also horror and the odd thriller. I have about as many non-fiction books as novels but very rarely read any of them all the way through: on the large, these relate to the subjects of politics, philosophy, history and human sciences, along with a decent collection of art books.
