I recently came across this great book resource. It advertises itself as a compilation of the top 1,000 books mentioned on Hacker News. While it clearly scews a bit towards ‘tech bro’, a list with a thousand items on it is going to cover a lot of ground. My current ‘to be read’ pile at home is plenty big, but I’ve really enjoyed browsing this digital library.

There are several books on the page that I am not surprised are here that I think are unduly popular and generally overhyped (such as Ayn Rand’s childish novels and Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad).

Three books I saw on the site that I definitely want to read for the first time include:

  1. The Three-Body Problem by Lui Cixin

  2. Debt by David Graeber

  3. Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse

Happy browsing! ✌🏼
