Related: There are a ton of sites set up like this. Hopefully somebody will post a list. Lotta work by HN folks on various ways of slicing and dicing the data.

I wrote this curated site from HN several years ago. Got tired of people continuously asking for book recommendations. http://www.hn-books.com/

Couple points of note. This is 1) an example of a static site, 2) terrible UI, 3) contains live searches to comments on each book from all the major hacking sites, and 4) able to record a list of books that you can then share as a link, like so (which was my reason for making the site)

"My favorite programming books? Here they are: http://www.hn-books.com#B0=138&B1=15&B2=118&B3=20&B4=16&B5=1... "

I started writing reviews each month on the books, but because they were all awesome books, I got tired of so many superlatives!

Thanks for the site.




Also Related: Thanks for setting up that curated list. I'll definitely be going through it to get recommendations. I got tired of seeing such recommendations being asked repeatedly and then disappear on HN so I created this:

http://www.vivalabooks.com

Basically a Hackernews for books.
