How this was counted. Counted by distinct redditor. This thread skews to classics by the nature of the subreddit, and to long books by the nature of the question — “I couldn't put down 1,200 pages” is a more remarkable claim than the same about 200. Reddit collapses replies, so the counts are a floor.
