The top ten most common words in the novel are:
the: 8,131
I: 6,750
to: 4,001
a: 3,793
it: 3,241
and: 3,035

These counts rely on the tokenization performed by the NLP library, spaCy.
Note that under spaCy’s tokenization, the count for “is” does not include the contracted form “’s”. The count for “that” does include when it forms part of ”that’s”.
We may refine these counts as manual corrections are made to the automated tokenization.
