Extended Profile
If I have released a book, I have no objection if the finder wants to keep it as a part of their permanent collection (just wish that they will say so in the journal entry). If I am offered books that are on my wish list, I might find it hard to let them
go. Although, if you want to keep your book moving, tell me so, and I will of course respect your wish.
I rate my books as follows:
1 point: Couldn't get very far and wouldn't recommend to anyone
2 points: Didn't finish the book because didn't like it/ Didn't like the book, finished it for other reasons
3 points: Finished the book, but wasn't impressed.
4 points: Tolerable book, but has major weaknesses
5 points: Sort of ok book, still had quite a lot of faults
6 points: Ok book, wouldn't recommend, though
7 points: Ok book, might recommend, might not read again, though
8 points: Good book that I would recommend
9 points: Good book, close to perfection
10 points: Amazing book! Everyone should read this!
No points: Haven't read the book OR can't give points for some reason or other.

You're Prufrock and Other Observations!
by T.S. Eliot
Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.
