Does "recommended" just mean "mentioned" or is this curated?

It's everything mentioned that's then filterable via tags, there's a joe-recommended tag for books that are directly recommended by one of the cohosts.

Mentioned, but there's usually a discussion.

Does this include "mentioned" as in "Don't read this book, it's full of errors"?

This. Same question for all those "I analyzed HN comments that mentioned books and you can browse them here" posts.
