For some reason, I suddenly feel as though this list is being gamed. Please forgive my ignorance if I am wrong... But, I am finding it difficult to see how Michael West's books are topical based on the blurbs on the dust covers. I do not mean to insult in any way, but I would be interested in a little elaboration. I like this list and I pledge to work hard for its integrity, if I can.

Thanks, Tanager

Tanager, the same three accounts (Stephanie, Ryan, and Kyle) have added his books to hundreds of lists. I have added all of Michael West's books to my rampant-listopia-spam shelf. Life is short and good books don't require that sort of promotion.

I wish there was some way to get books off a list when they're voted on to it incorrectly. That's the thing I hate about Goodreads lists: there's nothing to prevent someone from permanently adding a completely irrelevant book to a list.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. That is a big failing of goodreads. I guess they expect that every list will be visited by enough people to eventually have the bad entries wind up at the bottom.

List entries can be removed, by the creator and by volunteer 'librarians.' When you have a concern, PM the creator. I'll look at the West books now and remove them if apt.

Well, they seem to be gone. Perhaps his sock puppetry machinations became blatant to staff and they were able to clean up his spam actions. David, if you had evidence, you could have reported him to GR customer service.
