RE: A data driven approach to picking your next book

in #steemstem5 years ago

That's a great initiative, but I can't see that this kind of metric would be helpful with anything as personal as reading. I know this is supposed to be funny, but, personally, I don't care how long a book is or how 'difficult' it is to read. So those metrics are irrelevant--for me, anyway. However, this was sufficiently interesting for me to click through to the link. What I think is really interesting, though, is that you took the time too look at reading preference analytically. Very original. I'd like to see what you come up with next :)

Sort:  

I am not claiming that it is a good metric for everyone and surely 3 variables can not capture most of the magic of a good book. None the less, I think it is an OK metric for those that are less used to read (i.e. pick something short and easy). Thanks for your feedback and I will be happy to share my future thoughts with you :)

I love your approach. I also get involved in research to an extent that seems extreme to some. But I don't have your analytic tools.

If you have some specific ideas or data about stuff you would like to compare, feel free to hit me up :)

That sounds wonderful. So many times I research a piece and leave a great deal in the dust because no one wants to know that much :) Perhaps I will torment you with some of that data and you can do interesting things with it.
