Peter Mathews (pdmathews) | 242 comments Hello everyone,

I'm curious about how the number of books read is calculated.

My "Read" shelf says that I have read 1421 books. Okay.

But in the rankings page that number is only 457, almost a thousand less.

Why is there such a disparity between these two numbers?

Thanks!

You could try the Help pages (link at the bottom of every page).
