My 500 "best read" books lately - my ranking of the *best* books to read is calculated by a mathematical formula, which averages a numerical value that I set for each of the following criteria:

-- Length: ideally should be about 250 pgs (good reads longer than a novella, but not those super lonnnng ones),
-- Difficulty: ideally should have an age difficulty level of about 25 (includes some teens and YAs, but skips both the little childrens only books, and also the one you would need a PhD to get through),
-- Theme: ideally should be centered around a gripping story idea (has a wow factor),
-- Pacing: ideally should be well-paced (it keeps moving along briskly),
-- Clarity: ideally should be memorable (so, you don't have to ask, "what was that book about again?")
-- Endurance: ideally should stay satisfying long after (I'm sure glad I read that book way back when).

Warning! My ideal book on this list is not always comfy or politically correct (!!!) or high-cultured, but if it makes this list, then it's just a darn good read :
