Show HN: Dive Deep Books – handpicked collection of nonfiction books to read
hey!
I love reading books. I mean, I really love it — I even worked in a publishing house for a while, where my main job was to read a lot of books and write articles about them.
So, in the last 10 years, I have read 1000+ nonfiction books. And I would love to share the best ones with you.
Last weekend I gave myself 24 hours to create new project. And here it is — Dive Deep Books. Curated lists with my favorite books.
Hope you will find it useful
- mindcrime 2y agoFWIW, your page does not seem to render properly on Firefox on Linux. https://fogbeam.com/dive_deep_screenshot.png https://fogbeam.com/dive_deep_screenshot.png Looks OK on Chrome though. YMMV.
- skaplich 2y agoOuch! Thanks for reporting, will check it soon
- meristohm 2y agoI appreciate that you had an idea and put in the time and effort to make something of it, and then shared it. To what degree do you find that books of a similar topic have a traceable lineage? Like You Are Not So Smart, and then The Power of Habit, and more recently Goodbye, Things (also traces back to The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up), in which the author actually and thankfully cites previous works that were meaningful to him. Would it fit your website to show a web of books and how they interrelate?
- skaplich 2y agoThanks for your kind words! Well, in many times I read all of such books in one topic and chose the one that I liked the most or I found the most insightful. Maybe as an idea, I can mention such similar books
- glokta 2y agoRather than present a separate page for each book, you might garner more views if you listed the books in each category with an associated ranking.
