This is a great idea. You mention: "We noticed that the people we admired used plain lists on their personal websites" Any way to collect book reccomendations

This is a great idea. You mention: "We noticed that the people we admired used plain lists on their personal websites" Any way to collect book reccomendations from public sources and preload it? I imagine this maybe some manual work but the utility will be great. For e.g.: Gates - https://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Summer-Books-2020 https://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Summer-Books-202... Collision : https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf https://patrickcollison.com/bookshelf Andreessen - https://www.goodbooks.io/people/marc-andreessen https://www.goodbooks.io/people/marc-andreessen Btw - I just noticed while googling that this may be what GoodBooks.io is attempting

Great idea nrao123! We've done a bit of this: (1) Naval's recommended reading https://www.zeneca.io/navalsrecommendreading https://www.zeneca.io/navalsrecommendreading, and (2) the most re-read books from a popular twitter thread https://www.zeneca.io/reread https://www.zeneca.io/reread (this was came with a fun blog post about Clojure!) Definitely think there's something to this. Perhaps even people historically -- for example, I'd be very curious about Victor Hugo's favorite books, etc We'll consider going deeper on this.
