The truth is that my ratings change over time as well. Definitely time for a new system. <br /><br />@Mari - That's what we're all about here! We want to get men reading again. Thanks for the kind words. Have a great weekend!<br /><br />@Mayowa - Thanks for the tip! I'm putting it at the top of my TBD (to be drunk) list. <br /><br />@4IQRead - I'm glad to hear that someone else liked it. i was beginning to think that I was the only one!<br /><br />@Beverly - Done and done. I look forward to visiting The Wormhole often.

I much prefer to hear what you think of a book, however subjective and amorphous those thoughts may be.<br /><br />Now as for brews, I'll have to give the Steel Rails EPA a go. Ever tried Val-Dieu?

The average of the different qualities doesn't seem like a fair way to judge a book, particularly considering the average might not actually be what I'd rate the book either way. Usually I try to sum up my reviews with a recommendation either way and a warning if necessary!Jenniferhttp://soychaibookshelf.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918571665206465367.post-74052758833907925562010-08-27T08:37:06.367-04:002010-08-27T08:37:06.367-04:00I am not into rating.
