My suspicion is that viewers go by the "most popular" list, seeing how it's always the same books on the top spots.
And maybe some of these views are because people listen to the same stories repeatedly (Anne books, Winnie the Pooh)?

I know I've definitely seen comments on the youtube versions of the books of people who will play the same one every night to help them get to sleep (and yes, I know this doesn't factor in youtube listens but I'd assume the same type of activities occur on the archive versions). That could be part of it as well.

But hey, it's nice to see the Sci-fi collections consistently popping up on here!

Yes, Indeed. Nothing like listening to war of the worlds every night to calm me down and put me to sleep, drifting off as aliens lay waste to everything and everyone, ....YAWN..... I'm tired already just thinking about it.
