In safari, if I have content blockers enabled (which I have on by default for privacy and whatnot) then the site doesn’t show me anything. I’m guessing these are all ad links or something?

I love it.

Jut to note there seems to be a bug with the comment section. When I selected the Rust book and then selected others, the first comment from Rust book is shown in other books as well.

Mentions of “Genesis” are attributed to “Armageddon's Children (Genesis of Shannara)” by Terry Brooks.

What is the cut off date?

It seems to miss the mentions of the late John Varley's books in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46269991 six days ago.

Just missed by a day I guess. Cutoff is 15th December.

hmm. I made a post about "Imagining All the People. Poetry Inspired by Beatles Lyrics" but it didn't make the list. I'm guessing it's because there were no comments? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46296428 https://www.thebeatleworksltd.com/

If you are the creator of this site can you grab one of the covers for hypermedia systems off the website?

This is god's* work OP! Thank you!

* Or gods' work if you are polytheistic, or $god's work with "god" as a variable for all other belief systems on the Unix shell ;)

Any info on how this site was implemented?

Pleased to see that the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy was mentioned exactly 42 times!

I almost wonder if that particular number was hardcoded for humour!

My favorite reads of 2025 came from an HN recommendation (the Steerswoman series). I don't see it on this site so maybe the comment I saw was too oblique of a reference

Not really, there are quite a few books "missing" that I definitely saw mentioned in discussions not so long ago.
