After some time away from Bookcrossing I am delurking to set some more books free and to see some old friends. I've bought some bookplates and release labels, so I am at least a bit serious about this. I'm not sending or receiving books in the mail at the moment, thanks.

I am active under the same name on Goodreads.com. You can find a more current list of what I've been reading over there.

MY RATING SYSTEM - I only rate books I have read and remember
10: Excellent, at the top of its category
9: Great book - just a nitpick stands between it and a 10
8: Good, solid book, worth rereading
7: Good book, but I wouldn't read it again
6: Decent, but not my type of book
5: Only OK. Barely worth reading. The line between taking it and leaving it is very thin.
4: Maybe somebody else would like this. I didn't.
2-3: Has major problems. I don't recommend it.
1: It's hard to imagine anyone liking this book.

Just for grins, here's a map of all the US states I've visited. I only counted states where my feet touched the ground.
