Thanks vivaldirules
Im redoing the database. I have now over 500 books, the most prestigious SF and Fantasy works of the genres. Haven't worked on the kindle storefront side of it yet, but I've written some excel macros to score the works for fun.
A book gets one point for each time it's nominated, and an extra point for each award it wins (if any). An author score was computed which is essentially the sum of all of the author's book scores.
Here are the top 10 authors and their book scores (higher is better).
Lois McMaster Bujold 20
Robert A. Heinlein 20
Robert Silverberg 19
Gene Wolfe 14
Orson Scott Card 14
David Brin 13
Ursula K. Le Guin 13
Isaac Asimov 12
Joe Haldeman 12
Poul Anderson 12
Here are the most nominated books.
American Gods, Neil Gaiman
Doomsday Book, Connie Willis
Dreamsnake, Vonda McIntyre
Dune, Frank Herbert
Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card
Forever Peace, Joe Haldeman
Gateway, Frederik Pohl
Neuromancer, William Gibson
Paladin of Souls, Lois McMaster Bujold
Rendezvous with Rama, Arthur C. Clarke
Ringworld , Larry Niven
Speaker for the Dead, Orson Scott Card
Startide Rising, David Brin
The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin
The Forever War, Joe Haldeman
The Fountains of Paradise, Arthur C. Clarke
The Gods Themselves, Isaac Asimov
The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Robert A. Heinlein
This database is very large, so Ill have to create some automation to check the kindle store.
