I took ten random books from ten different authors.  I took four chapters from each, one from the beginning, two from the middle, and one from the end.

I didn’t even read the writing.  All I did was count the words in each sentence.  And the results I recorded in a spreadsheet.   There were thousands on lines of data when I was done.

Afterwards, I used a formula in the spreadsheet to give me the average.

15.25 words per sentence.
