Books I Read and I Would Rate Them.
My rating system is based on how much I believe you will miss out if you don't read that particular book. A 10/10 would therefore be a book that I believe everyone simply must read at some point in their lives and a 1/10 would be avoided at all costs. A 5/10 on the other hand would be a good book to read, but you won't only miss much by not reading it.
Please tell me about your favorite books in the comments. Also, tell me what you think about my ratings.
