Maybe GR should encourage variety, and not the same old ..."I do not understand why the recommendations use 'want to read' books and a single book to recommend a genre instead of taking one's top rated, finding someone who rated the same books similarly, and recommending books that person liked. Using low rated and multiple people would step that up, and use relative rating because someone's 3-5 might match another's 5 ratings but both categories are 10% of what the person reads.
And again I have to repeat that this is just plain numbers: Just because 70000 people read a book, it doesn't mean that they necessarily liked it. You're complaining about stats, which cannot be altered. This doesn't prove the quality of these books. Just that many people read it.
all the light we cannot see...top favorite...i loved the way the two stories converged. a MUST read.

Like The Caves of Steel by Asimov? Or even pretty much ANYTHING by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?
I've read the Harry Potter books, Me Before You, Hunger Games, Twilight, The Girl on the Train, Diverent. Not all last year though, just over the years.
Man, this list is incredibly bland.
