Here’s a list of Shakespeare’s plays, sorted by this formula: ((($rating – 1)/4) ** 2) * log($raters), where $rating is the Goodreads rating, $raters is the number of people contributing ratings, and ** 2 means raised to the power of 2. Anyway, as usual, the Goodreads data itself has been eliminated, and only the order remains.

Edit: see also 100 Books with 100 Authors, an abbreviated ranking of fiction available at Project Gutenberg.
