About My Library
"I labour grievously under the malady of Bibliomanie." - Thomas Jefferson

As for my ratings: I'm no master book reviewer. I'm generally not making comments about the style of prose or anything intellectual like that. Basically, did it keep me interested and did I learn something? Would I recommend it to someone else?

My Rating System:
5: Would be one of my "deserted island" picks.
4: Wow! If I ever get through all my other "wish list" books I'd read that again.
3: That was fine. I'm not upset I spent my valuable reading time on this one.
2: That was a waste of time.
1: This is meant as an insult. (Actually, I don't have any 1-star books because I remove them from my library so as not to muddy up my LibraryThing stats/connections/etc.)
