First of all, it seems the author has worked hard to make this site user-hostile. It's a mess of pointless animations that break selection and copying, where just text and images would suffice.

The book descriptions themselves are very short and don't say much what the books are about. The "or something similar" part in the page about "JavaScript the Good Parts" is particularly egregious - "find some book that ould make you really focus on language semantics, hell if I know which one". This is then one-upped by literally three sentences about a medium post later.

Can't really say much about the quality of the books themselves as I didn't read any of these, but I think this list would be more useful if the author spent more time thinking what to write about them, instead of making a flashy site.
