1. How many books are on your Read shelf? 756
2. What is the book with the most ratings? I have the same snafu with The Hunger Games and Harry Potter - so those two. The one after is To Kill a Mockingbird, 3,935,301 ratings.

3. What is the book with the fewest ratings?
Róka Móka Bábszínháza. I added this - a book from my childhood. It has one rating from me.

4. What is the highest rated book?
Well, the one above, and the next one is also from my childhood (11 ratings), so I am going with A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, which has a 4.73 rating with 11k ratings.

5. What is the lowest rated book?

9. What is the newest book (publication date)?
Sleepless, Vol. 2, Mar 13, 2019. I am currentky reading a newer one but it is not finished yet.

1. How many books are on your Read shelf? 587
2. What is the book with the most ratings? Interesting that the "sort" put The Hunger Games first, but the number for the second listing is higher. (Even my computer doesn't deal well with numbers.) So with 5,953,178 ratings Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling is my book with the most ratings.
3. What is the book with the fewest ratings? With a single rating, there's a three-way tie between The Plays of Jack London, Garnets, and The Turkey Season. I'm about to finish Alpha-Beta Bronson: Making of a Super Hero, which also has one rating, but I plan to add to that to add counterpoint. Twelve of my books are in single digits.
4. What is the highest rated book? The winner, with a perfect 5.0 is the lovely and talented Grace Parisi's Summer/Winter Pasta: Two Seasons of Delicious Pasta Fare in Full Color-At a Great Low Price. The highest rated for a non-cookbook (and more than a few raters) is 4.76 for It's a Magical World by Bill Watterson. (Calvin & Hobbes hold spots 2, 4, 5 & 6.)
5. What is the lowest rated book? Definitely Not for Little Ones by Rotraut Susanne Berner (2.65)
6. What is the longest book? Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix* by J.K. Rowling, clocking in at 870 pages, kind of unbelievable for me.
7. What is the shortest book? I believe that would be A Kidnapped Santa Claus* by Dorothy Gale's old buddy, L. Frank Baum.
8. What is the oldest book (publication date)? Sophocles's Oedipus Rex lists as (no joke) -450. (I guess a negative number is what we used to call B.C.). Second place is Inferno by Dante Alighieri (1320--that's a positive A.D.)
9. What is the newest book (publication date)? An Anonymous Girl by Sarah Pekkanen and Greer Hendricks from January of this year.

*At some point, I learned to love audio, and I typically use those for the big books. Unfortunately, many of those list as "unknown," 0, or the # of disks.
