Location: California		Hi Everyone,

I just noticed that Anathem has made it onto the Most Read list. Is there a way for us to tell what other books are getting close?

Thanks!

The number of reads to get on the list is mostly arbitrary. We needed a number high enough to keep the list length manageable. To see what books are getting close to the 450 threshold we'd have to change the threshold to 400 which would leave us still wondering what's getting close to making the list

I had been wondering the same thing. It might be a huge drain on the servers, but is it possible to see all the books in the database and sort it after how many have read the books?

It looks like Arthur C Clarke's Fountains of Paradise just made the Most Read list too.

Location: California		We should start a betting pool. Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane is at 437 but on the other hand Salem's Lot by King is at 442. Anyone want to offer odds? : )

Location: Norway		Their statistics on Goodreads is very similar. So going by those, there would be no real competition. But who knows? There are only a few horror books on this list.

Location: California		Both Salem's Lot and The Ocean at the End of the Lane were skunked by Annhilation by Jeff VanderMeer, the newest addition to the most read list.
