So it is interesting to me how a book gets on the first 5 pages of the most popular lists on goodreads without a very large number of ratings. Clearly there are some patterns that explain some of these books - collections of well known works that are highly thought of like Shakespeare, major religious books that people don't necessarily think to rank, major philosophy books for the same reason. Even slightly less popular very popular books like Sophie's Choice. I'm more interested in hearing about those others books. So if you know the story behind say the books of Ki Longfellow or Tim Butcher, let me know what it is in this comment stream.
