Hey there, I have been here for quite some pages and never read too much, in case of spoilers 😉
First of all: thanks for the constant work you put in here, I enjoyed the hour spent so far very much. Second: sorry if my English is terrible, am not a native.
Third (yes I love lists): I do like to find out what you (others in general) think of books i haven’t read yet, cause I am to old to waste my time on stupid nonsense printed on treasured paper that could have worn words of great literature instead. Therefore your rating – if included – is very crucial to name the books I put on my to read list 🙂
