Reddit's Favorite Books
- chevill 5y agoCool project. However, the 2nd highest rated book is incorrectly picking up two different books. Steven King's On Writing Zinsser's On Writing Well Also, some of the posts are recommending one book instead of another book, but being counted as a recommendation for the book that's not being recommended. For example, someone recommended the Algorithm Design Manual as an alternative to Introduction to Algorithms, but its counted for the latter.

- Aethelwulf 5y agoMildly interesting that they are basically all self-help books. On that entire first page, I can only see one fiction book (about sixty down) - and of course, it is a comic book!
- brailsafe 5y agoI think Zen is also a fiction and certainly doesn't read like a self help book.
- rehto21 5y agoNice project! I remember a while back, someone made something like this for HN too. It's funny how you think you may have an idea (opinion) about a community you so often visit, but when aggregate data like this emerges, you are surprised at the dissonance. Gotta keep updating those priors :) Wish you the best OP.
