What an outstanding idea. Generally, finding book recommendations is a serendipitous process of happening upon a page where someone knowledgeable has put together a list of books they like on a topic they happen to know something about. Or clicking around on Amazon hoping to find something good.

I see myself going to this site often, either looking for recommendations on topics of interest, or just looking at recent recommendations to find something I didn't even know I was interested in.

No, not sure why you would assume that. While I thought the book recommendations were okay, the main reason I shared this is the concept of the fivebooks site. Lots of other interesting topics on there.

Haha! Just found this through our analytics, thanks for the kind words! I promise they are unsolicited astrofinch. Thanks to hackernews for the shoutout as well! Alex (Fivebooks.com)
