The Most Popular Passages in Books, Kindle According to Date – The Atlantic

Highlights from Pride and Prejudice, The Hunger Games The Bible-and all of Harry Potter

Whether in the crowded library or the bedroom dark, few feel the personal experiences to reading a book. Books are about eye and page, about one human brain in conversation with another.

Yet the business of books is never quite airy about These virtues. And like any big business, publishing must always center on the mass: What’s the Most people want? What will The most people buy? Respond to what the people?

Between These two, there is a strange relationship. Companies collect and analyze this data, but the readers rarely get to see it.

New data from Amazon, released to The Atlantic Gives us the peek at what, Specifically, readers connect with. These are The most popular highlights in some of the service’s Most popular books.

Amazon does not release sales data for Kindles, so the question of what makes the list of When Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will
be no more, When he
bars his teeth, winter meets its death

And When he shakes his mane, we
Shall have spring again.

The Hunger Games :

The rules of the Hunger Games are simple. In punishment for the uprising, each of the twelve districts must Provide one girl and one boy, called tributes, to Participate. The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena That Could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland. Over a period of several weeks, the Competitors must fight to the death. The last tribute standing wins.

And Then There is the Harry Potter series. Down the line, from Sorcerer’s Stone :

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that. Now, why do not you put que admirable Cloak back on and get off to bed
