I've decided to borrow a review system from another website, Another Videogame Webcomic. It's part of a great little group of webcomics called Digital Pimp Online ("It's not a porn site but that would have been cool too," or so they say). AVW posts a little comic about a videogame or the gaming industry, then reviews said game (as of today, 1/2/10, you'll have to go back a few strips to get to a review).
The end result of the review is one of three things: buy, rent, or pass. I'll be using a similar system: own, library, or don't bother. Now, if I had the choice, I would say that everyone should own, and read, every book ever, because that would be awesome. But books are big, and heavy, and hard to move (if you're using real ones) and expensive (if you're using real and digital books). In the end, I'll be trying to determine if a books is worth having on your shelf or in your electronic reader, or not.
I'll also, on rare occasions, be letting you know that you might want to spend your time elsewhere - because in addition to being heavy, and costing money, books take time to read. If you're taking the time to read this, you might not have as much time to read proper authors, and I'd like to help you prioritize that time.
I hope that this review method makes sense, and works for books. If not, this post will be rewritten, and everything I've just written will be as if it never existed. Here's hoping it works.
Go boldly,
