Libby Rankings

I wrote a tool to rank books I’ve read. It takes a reading history json from Libby and sets up a bracket-style competion in the terminal.

When I did it, my the top twelve books, in no particular order, were:

• The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K. Le Guin

• Drowned Ammet by Diana Wynne Jones

• Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks

• The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

• Lirael by Garth Nix

• The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison

• The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison

• Terrier by Tamora Pierce

• Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson

• Conrad’s Fate by Diana Wynne Jones

• The Good Shepherd by C. S. Forester

• The Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones

The Libby history I have only covers a few years, and it misses out on books I own, books that are hard to find, and physical copies. However, my penchant for re-reading makes it pretty reflective of books that I really like.
