Looking for a good read? Follow these directions: 1) Go to amazon http://www.amazon.com http://www.amazon.com 2) Pick your genre 3) Sort by reviews 4) Pick the books with the most number of positive reviews 5) Read a few of the negative ones 6) Go out to Google and search for the books you selected 7) Pick up reviews from other non-book-review sites, like hn or reddit 8) Confirm selection by comparing notes from various sources 9) Get the book to read Or you can just go to http://hn-books.com http://hn-books.com and let somebody else do all of that for you EDIT: It occurs to me that perhaps you're making a snarky comment which I'm ignoring, but just be aware that the biggest problem in finding great books isn't piss-poor search strings and frustrating google search results: it's fans who love author X and are going to give him/her positive reviews no matter what they write. It makes it difficult to use review systems. I don't think that in a net of a billion people and a trillion web pages you're ever going to find a simple method for locating a good book to read that's going to stay the same over any length of time. There's simply not enough description in "good book to read" to have any meaning. There's a huge amount of implied context that is relevant but not supplied.
