I've stopped listing the top book of each month, since it's always The Flight of Dragons. The top ten books as of the end of the year are listed. Detailed statistics have been discontinued owing to a lack of time and a presumed lack of interest. The lists of top books for 1998, 1999, and 2000 are still available.
