Is there a HN Goodreads collection, or similar? Lots of lists like this (inc. my own: https://www.productgems.io/library/ https://www.productgems.io/library/) but would love to see something centralised when in search of a new book to read (that's not a generic top 10).
- sefrost 8y agoThis website has a list of books talked about on HN: https://hackernewsbooks.com https://hackernewsbooks.com
- SimpleMinds 8y agoI really like theirs newsletter, helps me to notice interesting topics I have missed and over the time highlights books that appear as recommended. That's how I finally started reading "Why we sleep", which I thought will be boring but is very entertaining.

- ChristianGeek 8y agoThis one also lets you look at Stack Overflow and Reddit mentions.
- rgrieselhuber 8y agoI personally find Hacker News Books to be easier on the eyes.

- kranner 8y agoPlease test your site on mobile. The divs containing individual books are too narrow to read on my iPhone 6.

- spookyuser 8y agoI really want - and am thinking about making - an extension that adds HN comments to Goodreads books. Whenever I read a book thread on HN I end up adding most of the books to my reading list on goodreads. But a year later, I don't remember why I've added the book and all I have to go on is the Goodreads rating and goodreads comments. These aren't that bad, but if the book has been on a HN book thread, I would much rather see a one sentence comment from HN that reads: "I loved this book, you should read it right now." Instead of any other comments from normal Goodreads users. How else is it possible to even begin parsing a thread like this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17980964 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17980964
