I don't think I would use this feature, but as everyone knows, I have opinions about everything.

I think you should take that highest 5% of your books and make that into a range of the lowest one in the range (rounded) or higher.

So if you have 1000 books, and 95% of them have less than 150,000 words, use 150,000->Infinity as your last range. I'm not sure if this is doable based on how the books are stored, but I think any solution that doesn't do something like this is going to have a lot of sparse categories at the right end of the bell curve.

Depending on how this works out, it might also make sense to do the lowest 5% as one range as well.

For really large libraries, it might make sense to do the last 3% instead of 5%.
