These ratings are up to date as at the end of Series 1, (Episodes 00 – Episode 29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note on Ratings: Please note that the top rating at this point is a 8\/10 – the first series is intended to be a benchmark against which future books will be rated, so by not rating a book as 10\/10 – I avoid the problem of later books being better and being unable to rate them higher. (Note, I’ve made an exception to this rule on the Anarchist’s Workbench, you can listen to the podcsast to get my reasoning behind this)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Books are rated in one or more categories to allow listeners to sort based on category and find their favourites in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
