Exploring Goodreads Data: An Analysis of 10 Million Books
Ammar Alyousfi’s Blog: “Goodreads is one of the largest book websites on the internet. It has data about millions and millions of books from different genres and in many languages. It’s hard not to find a book on Goodreads whether it’s published hundreds of years ago or just a few days ago.
Today, I present the analysis results of more than 10 million books on Goodreads. In fact, the original dataset that I used had 50+ million books but I excluded 40 million of them for data quality reasons mentioned later in this article. Goodreads allows you to search for any book and view its info, but there is no way to see all the available books and interact with them.
