Comments make me feel all squishy happy inside, so drop a line if you see or read something interesting! PLEASE don't leave links to your blog or page unless the post you're replying to specifically asks you to leave a link!
Sorry that I had to re-enable word verification, but without it, there was far too much spam coming in - the only other option would have been to require only registered (Google, OpenID, etc.) comments, which might require you, the commenter, to go through even MORE steps just to comment!

My Book Ratings System

I'm not a book snob. I may consider myself a bit intellectual, but a book doesn't have to be high and lofty for me to enjoy it. My ratings system is based purely on my own personal enjoyment while reading:

1 star - not even my enemies should read this
2 stars - there's at least one good thing about it
3 stars - it was an average sort of read
4 stars - very good; I liked it a lot
5 stars - amazing; you should read it and all of your friends and relatives should read it too

Why you'll never see a 1 star rating on my blog: If it's THAT bad, I won't even bother to finish reading it and I don't think it's fair to rate and review a book that I haven't finished. BUT ... you MAY see a "DNF" (did not finish) in my Monday memes for books read. THAT'S a sign .. :)
