Why "A Pilgrimage in Books"?
In religion and spirituality, a pilgrimage is a long journey or search of great moral significance. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim. I think that the art of being well-read is a pilgrimage of sorts, a quest to obtain and understand the beautiful around us. Is this not a journey of great moral significance? Please join me as I explore the world of the written word.

Ratings and Reviews
I rate books on a scale of 1-5 stars as follows:
5 Stars: one of my all-time favorite books. I will likely purchase multiple copies, give them to all my friends and extended family members, and rant and rave about this book ad nauseum. I try to give very few 5 star ratings.
4 Stars: an excellent and entertaining read. I will keep a copy on my bookshelf, but wouldn't be reluctant to lend it out. I'll recommend these books frequently, but perhaps not as aggressively.
3 Stars: a good story or educational book, but nothing that grabs me in a lasting way. Or, an enjoyable book that I feel is significantly weakened in some aspect: plot holes, silly characters, poor logic, etc.
2 Stars: A book that I struggled to finish or was reluctant to pick up off of my bookshelf. A story that left me feeling unsatisfied with its conclusion.
1 Star: A book that I couldn't finish or really disliked upon completion.
