Would it be fair to say it's sort of like a Hype Machine but for books?

I'm also always interested in hearing about books that authors I like are reading or maybe books that they've been influenced by.

Regarding the design, there is definitely a lot of gradients and drop shadows happening which makes the page feel "heavy" and not relaxing like I think Hawaii brings to mind. I'm not sure if it's that but something is making the large grid layouts to load slowly on both my desktop and laptop.

Very much so, like Hype Machine (which I love), with the caveat that THP is personalized, whereas Hype Machine is more one-size-fits-all in terms of the music it recommends, it doesn't really know whether I like EDM or Jazz and act accordingly.

thanks for notes on design. I suspect the page loading is because my server's getting hammered right now :)
