More book recommendations on HN should be a link to a good review like this, instead of just an Amazon link.

Sure - convince Scott Alexander to review more books? The problem is the supply of good reviews like this.

Sivers.org has got reviews and cliff notes for quite a lot of HN's favorite books, if you're interested. They're actually such good summaries of the books that a lot of the time I just read his synopsis and skip the book.

Thanks for the book recommendation engine recommendation! Noting it for when I get home; been looking for good ones.
