Hacker News Books looks great and crowd-sourced wisdom is very useful! But, sometimes I find such aggregated data to be a popularity contest. It becomes the default recommendation I see everywhere - from Amazon to Google trends. So, I wanted to see individual's reading list and decide for myself. That's why I built this.

> as the list grows, will there be some way to categorise and discover the lists? (tags, topics, etc)

Yes. I hope to categorize by communities such as Hacker News, Vernacular Books etc. My next list is "Reading with Your Child" :)

> is the numbered list their recommendation in order? Or is it just a list that happens to have numbers?

It is not in any specific order, since it is compiled from different sources. Hopefully, I will get to interview them to ask for their preference? ;)

> I would like a link to the source for each recommendation (twitter post or HN comment).

Sure! That's my next task. Thanks for all the suggestions!
