I am going to read Woman and Men soon and Zettels Traum later this year, but I have many shorter books lined up, too, like novellas by Stefan Zweig and many <200 pages books by Arno Schmidt before I read Zettel. I think I can make it.

My goal is 60 for this year. Granted, I typically only read around ~20. I've never hit one of these goals before and I've done 5. Maybe this year I'll score.

what criteria do you use to rate books from 1-5 stars?

2 if it was shit
1 if it was 'fuck right off you batty cunt'

>>7530938
thank you

i haven't made an account yet and am trying to figure out some objective rating criteria before doing so

>>7530913

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7281407-jessica-evans

1: Actively repulsive with no redeeming value
2: Little value
3: Mildly enjoyable, whether undermined by issues or just lacking something further
4: Really good
5: Fantastic

>>7530941
You're welcome. You might want to create separate rating classifications for non-fiction and fiction. I'm thinking about doing it as I've been having a minor quandary at times where the information in a non-fiction book is great but it was just really dry in comparison to a decent novel. I already somewhat implement that separation mentally but I haven't created a standard criteria yet. I might just be getting a bit too autistic about it.

the books I finished in the last two days, look at day added=started reading

>>7531067

I started half of them last year, generally I read around 500-800 pages a day, if I am not drunk. I read around 70-120 pages an hour, I could read 1200 pages of genre-fiction a day without problem.

I'm aiming for 40 books this year. I achieved 20 last year but this year I want to go over some classics I highly anticipate while also finding some potential novels for adaptation. I'm actually very excited.

If I liked the book and felt it had value to my life: 5
If I didn't like the book: I don't post about it on the internet and instead look for more books

>>7532045
Same, but English isn't my native and I have attention issues so I space out a lot.
