Read This Twice

This is so clean - good job - thank you. You should do this for other people. Not many, just good ones, like Paul.

There is a lot of "idolization" in the this industry. Those who have accomplished much are sought out for their opinions on all types of subjects, 1) because they are…

Thanks for this, great list and PGs context is great to have next to the recommendations. The PG glamour shot may have been what made it come off like you were idolizing him

Thank you! The idea is not to "idolize" people, it's more of a new way to discover books. I know PG, I know his mentality and it's super useful when he recommends a book giving…

First, thanks for doing this - it's a useful list of books. Second: I don't think we should "idolize" Paul Graham. He's certainly an intelligent and cultured man, but there's no…

To sidestep the ridiculous criticisms here about idolizing pg, you could reposition this ever so slightly as "A booklist paired with Paul Graham's tweeted opinions of them."…

PG wrote very very good books and essays. But the current PG (esp on twitter) seems to be so far away from this level of quality that I see where you're coming from.

This is great! I love the fact that it includes people like John Piper and Timothy Keller, but was disappointed I couldn't find more via the 'Pastor' tag. Is that a future…

I would be curious to see: - RubinReport - ProfJohnLennox - TonyReinke - RickWarren - MattChandler74 - RFupdates

Thanks for the work. Boring grunt work yields great results sometimes. I wish there was a small version without descriptions. I want to see as many books as possible on my screen.

You can actually change the layout so you only see the titles and the covers. The button to change the layout is right above the list (note to self: make that more visible).

Thank you for the list. Can you walk us over how you did this? Maybe a post that goes into how this was done on 20.2k tweets, etc. Does that include replies as well? Does it…

It's actually a pretty boring technology. The script looks for some keywords in the tweet (replies included), and then we manually go over the potential book recommendation…

Quite an impressive list. Wonder whether he has read these all and not sure what is meant by monetisation. Just a book list?

It was both. Started as a side toy to solve my own need, but the monetization potential got me to spend so much time building it.

Very interesting. Seems like a more sophisticated version of https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/

Thanks for doing this!, though this idea has been done often. I still think there's plenty of room for improvement, there was an app called ParrotRead that did something like…
