I love Meyer's list of most common sentences.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Because books.
I'll admit I skimmed -- did they level each author at all? Reading level, I mean? That would have been interesting to see.

I'm surprised Harry Potter isn't higher than that, based on the vocabulary.

Has anyone read Hild yet? I couldn't put it down. Compelling.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm hoping to get Hild for Hanukkah! I love Nicola Griffith.

I have never read any of Nicola Griffith's books before. Does she normally write historical fiction?
