My Goodreads Ratings Explained 

5 Favorite books of all time. 

4 Good and worth reading. 

3 Not very good, but still worth reading. 

2 Not good and not worth reading. 

1 The worst books I have ever encountered (I may also disagree with some of the ideas presented).

Books rated 1 & 2 will be rare since I carefully select the books I start reading.
