Opinions:

A) I love all the scifi book recommendations that cone up on HN

B) i wish you’d all stop recommending great and amazing books. My queue is so backlogged and jammed I'm never going to catch up.

View on HN

Same here. My interest in the Sci-Fi genre started with an HN comment recommending Blindsight, by Peter Watts.

Several comments and sci-fi series later, and I’m currently reading about spacefaring sentient spiders.

OK then, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my own sci-fi book I put out there free forever to listen ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtxgpaXp9vA ) and free forever to read/download/listen ( https://archive.org/details/stargazer-steven-pitzl ) because I don't want to navigate the self-publishing world, just want some feedback before I die.

Only joking, I'm remiss anyways.

So many books, so little time...

There needs to be some kind of hackernews library or goodread. I have enjoyed many books (and some no so much) but always on the look out for books.

That would be fantastic.

If only we had an even bigger universe, we would have more time... is that how it works?

That’s a very cool app, but I think it is missing many, many references to books in HN comments? It only has like 15 total sci-fi books. I don’t see any of my comments mentioning some sci-fi books.

It's a bit old. I bookmarked it a while ago, I don't think it has an update mechanism. A daily frontpage pull + AI parsing should be enough to keep it up to date.

What's a couple dozen books (and video games) in my backlog when I have a thousand websites there?

Please share the queue!
