Argh. I wish I'd caught this earlier. Okay, this would make for some nice consolidated reading but all these comments should be submitted separately to Less Wrong once your karma is high enough. They won't be promoted unless they're really good, they'll just be voted up and down as links, a la Reddit. Except that unlike Reddit you should include at least a line or two of description of what we expect to find there.

Also, book reviews should be, you know, real book reviews, as posts 'n stuff.

And they still can. But with this we get the opinions of those without a posting voice, and those who wouldn't want to devote a whole post to it but are happy to comment.

That and I thought it would be worthwhile to compare and contrast high-quality rationality resources being side-by-side.

So for clarification, this post shouldn't exist, and instead anyone who wants to mention a rationalist resource should post it as an article? Is that right?

That's the idea. Just remember that the article might not be promoted.

Quick online reviews because we can easily just go check it out for ourselves. Books require more resources to obtain so the description should be in-depth.
