I disliked both....

My two lowest books are:

1246 A Gate at the Stairs Moore, Lorrie 3.112410 - Not much plot, not much to like.

1257 The 120 Days of Sodom Sade, Marquis de 3.069723 - Really rough to get through, beyond disturbing

Two lowest:

1187 Story of O (Story of O #1) Réage, Pauline 3.283364

This is kind of fun. My two lowest:

1312: Cataract

I didn't much care for either one, so...so far, Wilson works for me

My two lowest

1264 The Gathering Enright, Anne 3.034329

1258 Billy Budd, Sailor Melville, Herman 3.068971

I liked The Gathering.

Thank you. I have removed it from my data.

Here is the other one that's giving you two too many.

627 Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris Gallico, Paul 3.779431 157 <--
842 Mrs Harris Goes to Paris & Mrs Harris Goes to New York Gallico, Paul 3.659763 305

Only the first one is on the list. the second one is a two-book combo and Mrs. Harris Goes to New York is not on the list.

Thank you. Removed the second one. Now my list of combined lists has 1315. Anyone know what the right number is?

1315 is the right number.

and my pleasure. I've been having a good time going through your list.

Fascinating stuff. I wish I understood statistics (no, don’t explain!).
Now there should be some way of calculating a score of how virtuous we are, not by saying I’ve read x number of books or x number of pages, but by adding up pain points; extra points for reading the most unlikable books!
My two lowest are:
1264 The Gathering - Enright, Anne 3.034329, 261 - rightly; it was boring.

1275 Forever a Stranger and Other Stories - Haasse, Hella S. 2.952539, 127 (probably only included because it was available in translation from the Dutch, is short and by a well-respected author)

The two lowest books I've read are:

1089 - The Circle by Dave Eggers
1097 - Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

The two lowest books I own that are sitting on my TBR pile are:

1080 - The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
1131 - Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

My two lowest scorers:
1313 Thomas Of Reading- I read it because it came up in a randomized list for me. It was interesting because of being such a very early work of fiction in English in very archaic style.
1158 Another World by Pat Barker- I thought it was so-so.
I avoid books that don't have good average ratings on Goodreads, which is why I think I only have one in the bottom 150, and have read six of the top ten.

Turns out I've read exactly as many from the top 100 as from the lowest 100, 33 each. Interesting...

The two lowest books I have read were Thomas of Reading and Cataract. I didn't think Cataract was that bad, but it has been a few years since I read it.

The two highest books I have read from this list are Ballad for Georg Henig and Death and the Dervish (the top 2), which were both excellent.

I have read 73 of the top 100 and only 52 of the bottom 100.

Too be fair, though, a lot of these books toward the bottom are not necessarily bad just seriously out of print and difficult to find.

Would it be difficult to add in the three newly discovered books? Or just let me know where they fit into the above list?

I use this Wilson Score-sorted list a lot. Love it.

Sean wrote: "I use this Wilson Score-sorted list a lot. Love it."

Not difficult, just takes some time. But you made it hard to say "no".

Is there anything you want changed from last time?

So, the combined list now have 1318 books, right?
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

Or 1321?
https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

This is the list I will use:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

It has 1318 books - including the three new ones. I have removed the old version of Three Kingdoms and added Three Kingdoms.

So what am I missing? (If any)

This last list looks good. I also have the "wrong" Three Kingdoms. This one is better i agree.

Thank you very much.

And nothing needs to change from last time except the three new books. I like how it was adjusted in the second iteration to take into account that longer books tend to get better ratings.

I just thought of something. There is supposed to be a 2022 version coming out in February. I don't mind waiting until then....

Either way.
