Yeah, the meteor story is rubbish. Strange Bristol Uni published this. They're an actual, legitimate, good university.

So many books, so little time...

There needs to be some kind of hackernews library or goodread. I have enjoyed many books (and some no so much) but always on the look out for books.

You'd like this then: https://hackernewsbooks.com

That would be fantastic.

If only we had an even bigger universe, we would have more time... is that how it works?

That’s a very cool app, but I think it is missing many, many references to books in HN comments? It only has like 15 total sci-fi books. I don’t see any of my comments mentioning some sci-fi books.

It's a bit old. I bookmarked it a while ago, I don't think it has an update mechanism. A daily frontpage pull + AI parsing should be enough to keep it up to date.

Thanks for the nice summary!
