Note on Ratings

I figured I should make a note about my ratings system. Simply put, I rarely finish a book that I don't like. I just stop reading it. So, chances are that any book I read all the way through is probably at least somewhat enjoyable.

My current rating system is on a scale of 0-5 diamonds. 5 being the best book on the planet (maybe something by EM Forster), 0 being the worst (probably The Celestine Prophecy). Anything 4 is a highly recommended read, 3 is also recommended, and 2 is recommended if it's a rainy day and you've read all the other recommended books.

This could be subject to change on my part. Obviously a 6-point scale hardly does justice to any book. Hence the actual review aspect.
