Making a note to try this when it's not slashdotted (hackernewsed?).

This sort of thing is _very_ interesting to me, and I rather desperately want something like to this tied to listings of books.

I would like to read more diversely --- at one time I was trying to read one book from each LoC division, starting at the top/broadest (so A--Z), then iterating down, but this got to be exhausting because it was difficult to determine which book to read.

A later effort was to read biographies of famous people to my children in chronological order as they were growing up --- dry run was the very simple set of U.S. Presidents --- but again researching and ordering was a big problem.

So, my hopes for this are that it includes footnotes/references/links to supporting material (perhaps affiliate links on Amazon would be one way to fund things?) and that it is possible to click through to find information on specific technical topics as well as general explanations.




Thanks. I had tried that but the AI keeps inventing false books or providing fake URLs. When the AI will be proper I will include that feature, for sure!


A worrisome problem.

I take it that there isn't a strict factual/non-factual (fiction) toggle?
