2006 NYT Book Stats

November 27th, 2006

Jessa Crispin (subscribe to her blog – I think she holds the record for the longest time in my aggregator) got an e-mail from a librarian (she is now Jessa’s favorite – surpassing me?) regarding the 2006 Notable Books list and some statistics. Interesting stuff:

“Of the 50 authors who are listed under fiction, 26 (52%) of them have written for the Times in the past 26 years. Of the 24 authors who haven’t written for the Times, 13 (54%) are female. Of the 51 authors who are listed under nonfiction (there’s one book with two authors), 28 (54.9%) have written for the Times in the past 26 years. Of the 23 authors who haven’t written for the Times, 6 (26%) are female.”

Now, what can I do to impress Jessa…?
