Some statistical analysis of 1001 list books

[J_BlueFlower]

What is the best book on the list? A very individual question, I know. But judging from Goodread's data – what is the best book? The point is to find out before reading it. One possibility is to look at the two listopia lists. The problem with these lists are that it is the books that many read that are in the top, and typical those that where originally written in English. One could also look at average rating. The problem is that you get books like The New World with only two ratings.

In statistics there is something called a Wilson Score. It is a score based on rating and number of ratings – both things at the same time. It is a very useful thing to do, I have wanted to use it here for a long time, but have been unable to figure out how to get the data out of Goodread's API. I finally succeeded with an other method last night, and here is the list. Format Title, Author, Wilson score. The higher score the better book. (Yes, I noticed non-ascii characters died on the way).

[J_BlueFlower]

There are totally 453,114 pages. 347.5 on average. The average of average ratings are 3.8059 and the average number of ratings are 5014.

Image shows page vs rating. There is a strong tendency that thicker books get higher ratings.

[Candiss]

This is fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing the fruits of your number-crunching. :)

[M]

I love this! Statistics about books is my favourite kind of statistics. Thank you for making this!

Regarding the page vs rating graph, I've noticed there are some outliers, some really long books. I'm curious as to whether the correlation between rating and page number would still be true if we eliminated those outliers. Is there any way to know this?

Thanks again for all your effort! I'm enjoying it way too much :)

I can make a new graph. What book size do you want the cut off at?

[Hajarath Prasad]

This is amazing :) Thank you so much for your effort :)

[Kaycie]

This is incredible!! I absolutely love it! I can't wait to find some of your top ranked books now!

Also, I have my own little statistics going on with my 1001 list, and I find it terribly interesting that the average book size is around 350 pages, but the median is 289. Highly skewed by the really big books!

[J_BlueFlower]

Thank you very much for all the kind comments.

I have median page number of 293, but I have excluded 0 page books (like The New World).

Here is a 50-bin histogram of page numbers

Yes, highly skewed towards big books. But I do not think it is a few big books that skews. Actually it looks like a log-normal distribution. This sorts of distribution is common when there is a boundary on one side – in this case the page number cannot go below 0.

Taking the log to the page number and making the same 50-bin histogram, I get:

I am sure that one will test positive in a normality-test. So, yes, it is skewed towards big books, but it is not just a few big books that does it. And from a statistical point of way not in a way that look unnatural/unhealthy.

[J_BlueFlower]

This figure is interesting too:
Publication year vs number of pages. I would have thought that older book where shorter (handwrittern book shorter then printed, and printed shorter when written on computer...)
Also it shows how heavily modern books dominate the list



This one is just the same as before zoomed in:

J wrote: "I have median page number of 293, but I have excluded 0 page books (like The New World)."

Yes, my page numbers are slightly different. I have 459901 total, but I looked those all up myself when I made my list. I tried to find the the page number for the most common paperback print of the book, since hardbacks can be vastly different. I think that can lead to the discrepancy there! I didn't realize how many other books were "bigger" though. I was really assuming it was the books over a thousand pages that were skewing. Interesting analysis - I hadn't thought of it that way.

I would actually believe the longer books being older. That was before editors or reality TV and soap opears where a much larger amount of entertainment came from books. Think of Les Mis - much of whats in that book probably wouldn't get past an editor today, no matter what we think of having it all there now!

Anyways, all of the analyses are great! Loving each one!

[J_BlueFlower]

You manually looked up 1300++ books!? Wow! That must have taken a lot of time.

I created an user account (called 1001list – very clever here ;-) I added all list books. Clicked the infinite scroll, selected the information I wanted and copy-pasted the data.

You are welcome to friend the account: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4...
It will not do anything, so it isn't spamming any feeds. I will login again in a few days.

Of course that makes my data of less quality. For instance I noticed that The Iron Heel by Jack London had the audiobook version as the most common. That has 4 “pages”

[J_BlueFlower]

I am thinking about reading from the Wilson list and see what happens. I already read A Ballad for Georg Henig and found that looking at average rating. A nice find. I have made a list of the first 53 books https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8... It takes a good deal of time of search for the books and add them. Anyone is welcome to add the last ones, BUT remember to vote for the ones I added first and in that order.

[Ann A]

Fascinating stuff!

[Linda]

That is amazing, J, what a lot of work!! Thank you so much for posting all of this information - I love looking at graphs like that. That's interesting about the long books having higher scores, although from personal experience it doesn't surprise me at all. Somehow since reading from the list this past year and a half, I've tended to tackle the LONG chunksters - Gone with the Wind, Infinite Jest, Les Mis, among others - and they have been favorites of mine. I think part of it has to do with after spending so long getting to know the characters, I don't want to leave them when the book ends. And I probably lucked out on picking good books to begin with. :)

[J_BlueFlower]

I ended up finishing the list anyway, curious to see how many top 100 books I had already read:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/8...

Sorry for taking so long. Life and all, the usual.

I wouldn't really know which page number would be the best cutoff value, since there seems to be quite a number of chunksters. At the same time, most books are clustered at less than 500 pages, and you said the median was 293. Maybe 500 pages? It's completely arbitrary, though, so I don't know whether the data will be meaningful.

[Jenny]

I'm curious, which of the books is the one with over 4000 pages?

[Linda]

Jenny wrote: "I'm curious, which of the books is the one with over 4000 pages?"

In Search of Lost Time (or Remembrance of Things Past) by Marcel Proust is 4211 pages.

Proust, should have known that xD But to be honest, there is no way that it ever has been published as a single, physical, book like that... right? Right?

[Linda]

Jenny wrote: "But to be honest, there is no way that it ever has been published as a single, physical, book like that... right? Right? "

I haven't looked for the book(s), so I'll take your word for it. I was just going off it being listed as one entry according to this website (entry #685):

http://1001bookreviews.com/the-1001-b...

I don't think it would be very comfortable to try and read a single 4211 book anyway!!

[Kaycie]

It is published as a single book in the kindle edition! As a matter of fact, I am reading that exact one. And its just as comfortable reading the 4211 pages there as a 421 page book! :-P

My old library had it published as one single edition with 2 parts...so it was one "edition" that had part one containing books 1-3 and part two containing books 4-7.

J wrote:"You manually looked up 1300++ books!? Wow! That must have taken a lot of time."

Probably no more time than adding each book to a goodreads account. Basically, I looked them up on goodreads, found the paperback edition, and added the page numbers.

[J_BlueFlower]

Kaycie wrote: "Probably no more time than adding each book to a goodreads account. Basically, I looked them up on goodreads, found the paperback edition, and added the page numbers."

At 10 second per book that is almost 3½ hours. I took the listopia list (that is very well kept and guarded right now, so as far as I know it only has 1001-list books). When I started I guessed one second per book, and that would be a total of 22 minutes, but I finished in 10 minutes.

[J_BlueFlower]

Here is the number of pages vs average rating. This time the long regression line is based on only books with 0-500 pages. The small regressions lines are based on each 100 page interval. I have artificially cut of at 1800 pages (leaving out one book).



While the individual regression lines are pointing in all sorts of directions the general is still a very strong tendency upwards – that is: The bigger the book the higher the rating.

I think that it is a general tendency that you only start out on a 800+ page book with a clear idea that you will probably like it, while you are more likely to run a risk with a smaller book.

[J_BlueFlower]

If it is true that bigger book tend to get higher rating that they objectively deserve (whatever that means) one can calculate an adjusted rating by subtracting the regression line (and adding the overall average to keep numbers in a familiar range). The resulting Wilson top 100 list is this. It doesn't really change a lot. A few book changed places. À la recherche du temps perdu vanished from the list and Infinite Jest moved from 14 to 84.

That might be true now, but I did try taking this list when I made mine some years ago. However, when skimming the list, i found several Harry Potter books and decided not to trust it. By looking them up on my own, I was also able to control that each page number I took was from a consistent type of book.

[M]

J, you're my favorite! Not only did you redo the graph, but applied a correction factor to the original list. Thanks for everything :)

Although I'm kind of appalled that ISOLT is out of the new list. It's a truly beautiful book! Or maybe I'm biased because reading it entails a lot of effort :D

[J_BlueFlower]

It is fun to do. I love finding hidden patterns in data. If you have any other analysis, you what, just ask. No promises, though.

[J_BlueFlower]

I took a deep breath and made a listopia list of the second Wilson top 100 list:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
(I made a mistake, but the order should be OK next time it rescores.)

I will probably start reading from that. Not systematically in any way but as one of my 1001-list-strategies.

[J_BlueFlower]

"You've read 24 of these books and 17 are on your to-read shelf. " Not bad...

Of the 24 books I rated 14 3-star, 6 4-star, 4 5-star and no 1 or 2 star. For comparison my average is 3.16. Looks very interesting to me.

[Linda]

Thannks J!

The second Wilson top 100 list: "You've read 8 of these books and 5 are on your to-read shelf."

Looks like I have quite a bit of catching up to do! Although glancing through the list I have read at least two more that are not counted. I read them so long ago that I would like to reread them before actually counting them.

[Nicola]

You have to count it yourself Linda; if you haven't read the version it has listed then Goodreads isn't clever enough to realise you've actually read a book with exactly the same name and author. It's pretty shitty website programming (but what can you expect considering they still haven't delivered 1/2 stars yet)

[Linda]

Thanks Nicola. Yeah, I realized that when I saw that Infinite Jest on there but it wasn't counted - it glared at me since I had just read it this year. I'm a stickler for using the exact edition that I am reading to put on my GR shelf, but for purposes of polls and such it's lame they can't combine editions.

[Diane]

I have read 45 of the 100. Not bad.


I did notice that there is a Sarah Dessen on the list on position 90. I am pretty sure it is not a 1001 book. I think it should be The Summer Book by Tove Jansson.

Yes! Thank you! I have fixed it now. Should be OK as soon as the list is re-scored.

[Jenny]

The list is sooo coool!

[Ellinor]

This is amazing, J! Thanks for putting so much work into this!
I've read 26 of the 100, not bad but still way to go. Now I know where to look when once again having read an un-worthy list book.

[Amy (Other Amy)]

Huge thanks for this.

Hmmm... actually Sarah Dessen is still on the list with no votes as book number 101. Looks like a bug to me.

As a statistician, I have to say I like this analysis. How fun!

When thinking of this though, I question whether we could ever sensibly adjust for length of books (theoretically of course)? While it seems probable that effort justification may increase ratings of long books (though I suppose this could be tempered by potential hostility engendered by trudging through a 1000 page snooze-fest in which case we could...but anyway...), what if long books simply are just better? I, with bias I am sure, am thinking of Infinite Jest here: it wouldn't be as remarkable if it were shorter.

Anyway, just pondering out loud. Love it.

However, I wouldn't adjust for the length of books since how are we ever to factor out the theoretical interaction effect of some sort:

Thank you Leah. Good to know that my analysis is sound. I am not a statistician (but I have a science background).

I think people tend to evaluate book asking “What did I get from this book?”, rather than “What did I get from this book for the hours I spend? ”

For me the question is : Would I rather read these three 200-page books than this one 600 page book? This year I spend 1½ month reading War and Peace. In the same time I could have read 5-8 other books. What would I have enjoyed the most?

I believe the goodness of a book depends on the use of story, characters, character development, language , plot, twists,... A long book can have more character development of course – but can a 400 page book have more than two times a 200-page book?

It seems to me a good approximation that the goodness of a book is an independent variable of the length of the book.

One possible explanation for the opposite is that editors could be more willing to take chances with a short book.

What I really think is happening is that most people prefer “more of the same”: When that have gotten to know a character the first 200 pages. They rather read 200 page more with the same character.

I tend to love long books myself. They become like an old friend and I hate to say goodbye.

Books are like food. I just like a full 600 page meal over a salad for dinner :p

The highest ranked and 6th highest are rather garbled because of being in foreign languages and having unusual characters, but I recognized them as being:

Derviš i smrt Selimović, Meša = Death and the Dervish by Mesa Selimovic

and Grande Sertão: Veredas Rosa, João Guimarãe = The Devil to Pay in the Backlands by Joao Guimaraes Rosa. There was a limited printing of an English translation of this evidently, but it's essentially unavailable, so unless you can read Portuguese, you probably can forget reading this for now.

I've read Death and the Dervish and enjoyed it, but I certainly don't think it's the best book in the 1001 list, and think a lot of people wouldn't like reading it- I rated it four stars. This is one anecdote though, and I think the method is worthwhile.

I've read 12 of the top 25 (I've read 21% of the 1301 books) so apparently I'm doing a pretty good job of picking my reading.
I found this thread by accident- a search on mentions of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall brought it up, and I thought "what's this?" (maybe I should change my name to Curious George)- which is why it's three years after the last post- but decided to go ahead and post to it.

Alison Entrekin is working on an English translation of this book for Knopf. I don't have any more information unfortunately.
