book meme, opinionated statistics version
Apr. 30th, 2008 08:26 amOne of those book memes is going around again in which you indicate, through various types of formatting, whether you finished, started, or never read books in a given list. I like looking at lists of books, but this time I decided to plop the list into Excel and tag them into categories.
( out of 106 books... )
Analysis: From that list, I liked roughly 77% of books I read (and really loved about 20% of them), and was greatly disappointed by only 8%. (I really love 1/5 of all books? Probably means my standards are set low.) Of books I haven't read, I've heard of 90% of them, and am resistant to reading about 10%. Of course, it's all highly dependent on sample composition.
