It is. It's interesting that (as of tonight) 14 books appear on both "25 most reviewed books" and "top 25 books," but there's not a single shared item between "top 25 books" and "top 25 books by star rating."

It's mildly interesting that there's 50 items in the
"largest 25 groups."

I was sidetracked into reading most of:

Interesting in a different way. Some great ideas.

I like the various "Clouds."

A disappointment was entering multiple books by ISBN. Since I have a list of ISBN numbers for my books, I tried a few manually first. I found that because many of my books are old, my particular editions don't appear in the list. For example, "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas R. Hofstadter (1979) has about 30 ISBN numbers, none of which matched either of my editions.
