I feel like it would be nice to have a "rising" category - most of these are from heavy hitters/already famous.

However, very cool - any thoughts for other categories (SciFi, etc.)?

Yeah totally! Initially just whipped this together as a MVP. Been trying to read more non-technical books so I thought about making a site that'd help me choose one to pick. Aim is to have a top weekly/monthly section as well as you said, different categories!
https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/ is a sub for SciFi, and has occasional compilation and recommendation threads, and a wiki with some more links in it.
Speculative Fiction, not science fiction.

Fantasy is more than welcome there.

Perhaps a list for ‘obscure and nearly forgotten fantasy books from the last century’ or ‘why is’t Evangeline Walton on this list dammit’?
I read a sci-fi book where three characters were in a punishment squad in some distant (communist?) future.

They were on a planet with incompatible dns, so they couldn't eat anything local. They ended up using some cloning equipment to make "hams" and grafted on extra limbs for travel rations.

Anyone else read this?
