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.

You'd like this then: https://hackernewsbooks.com

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!
