Would people be interested in a place on LW for collecting book recommendations?
I'm reading The Logic of Failure and enjoying it quite a bit. I wasn't sure whether I'd heard of it here, and I found Great Books of Failure, an article which hadn't crossed my path before.
There's a recent thread about books for a gifted young tween which might or might not get found by someone looking for good books..... and so on.
Would it make more sense to have a top level article for book recommendations or put it in the wiki? Or both?
Considering most of my favorite books are the result of mentions in comment threads here, I'd say a book recommendation thread is in order.
Tangental, but I remember "Logic of Failure" to be mostly being mental phenomena I was already familiar with, and generalizations from computer experiments that I didn't find particularly compelling. I'll have to give it another look.
This thread is for the discussion of Less Wrong topics that have not appeared in recent posts. If a discussion gets unwieldy, celebrate by turning it into a top-level post.
