Nabokov's Favorite Word Is Mauve: What the Numbers Reveal About the Classics, Bestsellers, and Our Own Writing by Ben Blatt

informative fast-paced

4.0

An interesting analysis on top sellers and classics performed by the author. Data is tricky because it is easily manipulated to tell any story depending on your angle. In this case, I doubt there was anything intentionally misleading but it is good to keep in mind the fact the author is a journalist/writer, not a data scientist or professional. Still, there were some interesting takeaways and the book was a quick, easy read.
