you know, i wonder if marginallia.nu would be a cool way to try that nonfiction books of the year googling -- getting the best of 'not SEO optimized' but also that crowd-funded sort of consensus when something is really really good.
the bibliography trick is SO useful though, agreed. especilly if it's in that odd circle of interests and it's especially cute when you recognize already similar books there XD
your breadth of reading is - i don't want to use inspiring in the lofty, predestal sense, but it's really refreshing to see, and makes me want to pick back up the habit even more strongly. cool shit. <3
