About meClueless pedant, gumshoe chemist and sociopath wannabe.

About my libraryIt's a mess. Actually I hope the site will help me catalogue it. Also I'm not good at criticism (but I really try), and even worse as grading.

Speaking of grading, a few rules :
1/2 is the worst I can give a book. 0 actually means not reviewed.
1 means awful.
2 means very bad, 2 1/2 means severely flawed, 3 means OK-ish
4 means very good
5 means perfect, a complete masterpiece. I try to give only one book per author a 5 to single out his very best work.

I'm into so bad it's good books (and movies, but that's another story) ; when tagged as such the mark reflects that, so a 5/5 is not very good but so bad it's very good.

The 'singular' collection aims to present what few books I read that are not overly known, be they good or bad. Generally the reviews are more detailed for them ; the Internet has little to gain from my reviewing Swift's Gulliver, but if I can interest someone in Montheilet or Linklater... Well.

Also check out my nonfiction collection, it's often what I look at in others.

Also I am always willing to give more detail about a book, drop me a line if you need some.
