Reading Lists

Curated or crowd-sourced lists of what to read, treated as shared objects in their own right. The corpus holds two kinds: open questions put to a following (“what’s the single best book…”, “what historical fiction should I read…”) whose answers are captured whole so the list survives the thread, and finished artifacts such as a genre-by-genre reading list with anchoring quotes. See Reading List (singular) for one operator’s list, and Anti-Library for where recommended-but-unread books are kept.
