Admin Posts: 4008 Location: Dallas, Texas | Rhondak101 sent me these interesting stats to share with everybody: Authors with the most books read:
Authors with the most different titles read:
Authors without any books read yet: Books most frequently read:
The most read authors list should come as no surprise. These folks are all giants of SF/F. That we're only shy 3 authors to be read after 2 months is pretty cool. It occured to me the other day that we should have made Damon Knight required reading for the challenge - the award bears his name after all. You'll note that all of the most frequently read books are SF Masterworks. It seems you guys are doubling up on your challenges! | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | Jeremy, I had not really considered it. The idea of 984 books at the end seems a little bit daunting. However, I think that I might have figured out a way to keep track without having to do much recounting. We'll see if it works. Rhonda | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | I have figured out how to do it with a spreadsheet. It will not take very much maintenance as long as I look in every couple of days and add new books. | ||

Uber User Posts: 770 Location: SC, USA | @Scott, I think we can vote for 3 reviews. | ||

Admin Posts: 4008 Location: Dallas, Texas | @Scott Laz: You can vote for up to 3 reviews. Technically the software will let you vote for all of them (it's off the shelf software) but we ask that you limit yourself to 3. | ||
