Reading on: Sony PRS-600 (Reader Touch Edition).

Here's what I have: a strong capacity for alcohol and a strong desire for the "arriere-pays". A bookshelf that is divided across counties and continents. A shoebox of moleskine diaries with a sign on top: Burn me. Pictures of graffiti from across Europe - the heart in my photo is from Barcelona. And, um, there's some moldy cheese in my fridge.

Review System:

Fiction:
5 stars: Hello lover! My major organs have flown from my body and lie impaled on lampposts.
4 stars: New BFF. Heart beats faster, gut clenches tight but both remain in place.
3 stars: Worthy acquaintance. Physical reaction limited.
2 stars: Esteemed foe. Clenched fist/brow (not in a good way but not necessarily unwelcome).
1 star: That chatty guy beside you on a transatlantic plane journey. Exasperated tears a likelihood.

Non-Fiction:
(Note: 5 stars = 4 stars, 2 stars = 1)
5 stars: For "fun". Informative/Juicy.
4 stars: For uni. Informative/retain for future reference.
3 stars: For "fun". Interesting... What did it say again?
2 stars: For uni. Expands little on class notes.
1 star: Glorified picture book. « less
