About My Library

Mostly fiction and physics.

General (non-physics) ratings explication:

* barely worth keeping; perhaps of shock value or rarity alone.

** adequate. not embarrassed to own, and probably enjoyable, but not necessarily destined for rereading.

*** pretty good. stands out from the crowd.

**** among the best i've read in a lifetime.


***** absolute favorites; jewels of my library.

Physics:

* I can't throw away physics books.

** Part of a well-rounded library, but not notably great or useful.

*** Particularly useful or well done.

**** Classics within my field.

***** Absolutely classic.
