Useless Statistics
The point of this thread is useless statistics. Well, and to maybe find some new books and authors to read.
I was looking through my list of books read this year on GoodReads and just love all the statistics available. So show me what you've read this year and how popular/unpopular it is. I'll go first as an example:
