Ted's booklist/review websites have been my go-to for "I need something to read" for years now. He appears to not be maintaining them and some of the domains have expired, but here's "The New Canon" (fiction since 1985):

And here's an archive snapshot of the Conceptual Fiction (sci fi) one, which is now dead:

The top comment here is about him giving the impression of being "massively up his own arse." Maybe -- but I think his attempts to create something useful for others, which I have found genuinely useful, outweighs that. What does it say that he's letting those attempts link-rot and writing on substack instead now?

I don't know. I just know he has good taste in literature.
