An actionable rating system (for books)
Here's how my actionable rating system works for books:
5 stars means: I recommend owning this book as part of your permanent library. (Note that good, rare books are more likely to get 5 stars than good books which are available at the bookstore or Amazon.)
4 stars means: I recommend buying this book, but not necessarily keeping it.
3 stars means: I recommend borrowing this book from a friend.
2 stars means: I recommend borrowing this book from the library.
1 star means: I do not recommend reading this book.
