You mean to tell me you didn’t have to read “Secret Babies for my Best Friend's Dad: An Age Gap Romance” in English class?!


Aside from being "cheap romance", these actually deal with complex problem-solving.

Some time in the future, once we've managed to abstract away the technical aspects of mathematical modeling and AI, we'll be mining these books for scenarios on how to deal with human relationships.


The amazon.ca page still works as intended: https://www.amazon.ca/Best-Sellers-Classic-Literature/zgbs/b...


Sometimes I feel as if Amazon the website is falling apart. It's like the system infrastructure is there, but populated by information from bad DL models or something.


The Classic Humor best-sellers list includes Frankenstein and Moby-Dick, two famous knee-slappers.


Seems Tolstoy forgot to give War and Peace a subtitle. Could have made the list.


Classic to someone, I suppose?


No, it even says several of them are new releases.
