Google's Top 10 Books: Grammar, Robots and The Holy Qur'an. Google’s at the Frankfurt Book Fair this week and is using the occasion to publish their own literary “Top 10 List” based on the Google Book Search. The list, which is based on searches done between September 17 and 23rd is lefty geek-chic at its best and, as Google’s own PR points out, bares absolutely no resemblance to other book lists like the New York Times Bestseller List or Amazon’s best sellers. What are the Googleati searching for? How about a tome on evolutionary biology and tropical flowers, the Holy Qur’an, that Noam Chomsky book that Hugo Chavez was toting around at the U.N. and a guide to building all terrain robots. Anybody who can tease some kind of zeitgeist out of this list wins the antivirus company shwag gathering dust on my desk. So here it is: Google’s Top 10 Books, with links: Diversity and Evolutionary Biology of Tropical Flowers By Peter K.
