Cool project. However, the 2nd highest rated book is incorrectly picking up two different books.<p>Steven King's On Writing<p>Zinsser's On Writing Well<p>Also, some of the posts are recommending one book instead of another book, but being counted as a recommendation for the book that's not being recommended.<p>For example, someone recommended the Algorithm Design Manual as an alternative to Introduction to Algorithms, but its counted for the latter.
Mildly interesting that they are basically all self-help books. On that entire first page, I can only see one fiction book (about sixty down) - and of course, it is a comic book!
Nice project! I remember a while back, someone made something like this for HN too.<p>It's funny how you think you may have an idea (opinion) about a community you so often visit, but when aggregate data like this emerges, you are surprised at the dissonance.<p>Gotta keep updating those priors :)<p>Wish you the best OP.
