The most important info in a list of "books" are the book titles/ISBN. Secondary is why the author of the article thinks they are important but, when I'm reading an article written by someone I know nothing about, that's a distant second. Under no circumstance is "an 896px-high picture of the book embedded in the article so that you must scroll past it" considered "important info" when I'm browsing a list of book recommendations. Maybe this sort of design works on a mobile device. On a computer though, if I want to read the whole thing, I'd have to scroll (or click) with my mouse probably 20-25 times. No thanks. If it was because there was so much dense, great content - I'd be interested. But come off it - at the end of a day, it's a *(#&&ing list of books that could be summed up to bullet points.
