"average book read published 1986" factoid actualy just statistical error. average book read published 2006. Beowulf Gates, who is known from a single manuscript & was written between 700-1000 CE, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
#spiders georg#like thank you storygraph but I cannot interpret this information in this form at all#also it was the superb bro translation by maria dahvana headley and I think it would be fair to use 2020 as the date#but what do i know#and yes i actually calculated the averages#beowulf singlehandedly brings the mean down 20 years
