There are now more than 3300 reviews at the complete review, so it's time for a statistical look at the last 100 (well, reviews 3201 through 3300):
- the 100 reviews were posted in 187 days (previous hundred: 184 days), and totaled 89,132 words (previous hundred: 89,651). (Wow -- a steady and consistent pace !)
- reviews were of books originally written in 22 different languages -- the best-represented languages being French (20) followed by English (19) and German (13). One new language was added (Thai), bringing the total number of languages represented at the complete review to 63. See also the language list for a full breakdown of all languages
- reviewed books were by authors from 36 countries, led by France (16), the US (10), Germany (8), and Japan (7).
- 89 of the 100 reviewed titles were novels (plus two story-collections) -- fiction continues to dominate completely
- more titles from the 1930s were reviewed (6) than the 1970s (3) and 1980s (2) combined; six titles were written before 1900 (all 19th century titles)
- no book received a grade of A or A+, but 13 were graded A-; one book was graded F
- shamefully (and almost absurdly) only 13 of the reviewed titles were written by women, lowering the percentage of female-authored titles at the site from 15.14 per cent to 15.08 per cent; see also the full breakdown here.
