Notes about the List

  • How to use the list
    • When the list is updated each day, check the good stuff marked by *****. 
    • If you see something you like, click on it to go to the Amazon page.
    • Check that the book is still free or cheap. Prices can change.
    • "Buy!"
    • "Read!"
    • If you don't find anything, try the not-so-good stuff that comes after the ***** books.
  • Other details about the list
    • What do I mean by "good stuff"? Ratings >= 3 and review count >= 50. All books listed for the day has not appeared on my list for the past 7 days. From https://xkcd.com/1098/:
    • The fictions and non-fictions are separated into different posts. However, Amazon categorizes some books like “Wuthering Heights” as nonfiction.
    • Because there is a time lag between immediate price change and Amazon’s listing update time (hourly), there are gaps in the listing.
    • Only the primary (first) author is listed.
