Although we've had to endure some dross ( see "The Hall Of Shame - Bottom 10" )
We've occasionally struck gold -
1 = The Restraint Of Beasts ( 9.8)
2 = The Wind Up Bird Chronicle ( 9.5 )
3 = Arthur And George ( 9.4 )
4 = Cloud Atlas ( 9.2 )
4 = Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ( 9.2 )
6 = Great Apes ( 9.0 )
7 = Ingenious Pain ( 8.8 )
7 = No Logo ( 8.8 )
7 = The End Of Mr Y ( 8.8 )
10 = The Leopard ( 8.6 )
10 = The Human Stain ( 8.6 )
10 = Vernon God Little ( 8.6 )
10 = The New York Trilogy ( 8.6 )
10 = The Book Thief ( 8.6)
Thanks to our resident statistical whizz-kid ( not me btw ) we also have a "Top 10" utilising the trimmed mean ( i.e ignoring outliers )
1 = The Restraint Of Beasts ( 10.0)
2 = Arthur And George ( 9.7 )
3 = The Wind Up Bird Chronicle ( 9.5 )
4 = Great Apes ( 9.3 )
4 = Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell ( 9.3 )
6 = Cloud Atlas ( 9.0 )
6= Ingenious Pain ( 9.0 )
6= The Leopard ( 9.0 )
6 = The End Of Mr Y ( 9.0 )
6 = No Logo ( 9.0 )
12 = The Human Stain ( 8.7 )
12 = Vernon God Little ( 8.7 )
12 = The New York Trilogy ( 8.7 )
12 = Atonement ( 8.7)
12 = London Fields ( 8.7)
12 = The Motorcycle Diaries (8.7)

I got two in the top ten - result! Although it doesn't quite wipe out the shame of having four in the bottom five..... I suppose I'd better go on to Amazon and cancel my order for five copies of the new Jeffey Archer book.
ReplyDeleteTwo for me as well - The Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Vernon God Little.
ReplyDeleteFour for me ( seven from the trimmed mean top 10). Not that I'm bragging ( which of course I am )
