About me
My personal rating system:
5 - Either a personal favorite, one I have very fond memories of, or one I have read multiple times (or anticipate reading multiple times) - most often all of the above
4 - I loved this book
3 - Either I liked this book or it was just not up to love of the other books in the series
2 - This book was ok. I probably own it and I wouldn't tell anyone "not" to read it but it didn't do much for me
1 - I hated this book. I don't go out reading books that I think I won't like so most often this is a book that I read based on hype or someone's recommendation. These are minutes of reading hell I wish I could get back.
I'm a scientist who runs a FIB, SEM, and microprobe in the fields of planetary science and mineral physics. My job keeps me very busy so I don't have as much time to read fun stuff as I used to do. But books still help me imagine myself in other worlds and I am still passionate about reading. I also enjoy adding good books to my huge personal library containing over a thousand volumes.
My hobbies when I'm not reading include board games, caving, hockey and the American Civil War.
