There was an article on HN recently, "Apex Books of Goodreads" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37970307 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37970307, in which the author uses a Pareto frontier to attempt to account for the recency bias. It was not entirely successful, as the result includes four of the Harry Potter series and five Calvin and Hobbes collections, including the highest-rated The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, from 2005, and second is Brandon Sanderson's 2014 novel Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, #2)
