Ask HN: What makes a good book?
I am currently working on a paper for my thesis regarding book analysis.
My goal is to essentially find a method which can determine whether a person will or will not like a book. To that end, what makes a good book?
It needs to be measurable and hopefully data that is fairly easily obtainable...
