After 5 minutes using this product, I really like it. I could see it in other categories like music. What songs influenced certain musicians etc.

Any epub reader suggestions for iOS besides iBooks and Marvin? I'm still waiting on the outcome of Readmill's acquisition by Dropbox.

I am now ruined! This has to be one of the best product I have seen come out of Product Hunt. The initial application is spot on and you can take this up so many other verticals - it's a winner! Great job mate.

@maurosicard @clemkn (adding on to what @_jacksmith said...) Curated lists with context is neat concept. The context of not only Where an influential person mentioned the text but also what they learned from it (and even better, How it altered their thinking or decision-making model or personal framework) would be useful, too. When people ask me what I'm reading I usually link them my Scribd collections, my Goodreads profile, or my Degreed.com pathway on fiction, depending on what they are looking for and their progress in business or life. What my lists lack is the Why behind me reading a specific book at a specific time, my purpose for reading, and my takeaways (at the time, and later on, since texts tend to plant seeds which later bloom with the appropriate angle of the sun)--for this reason, I've enjoyed commentary that Bill Gates provides on Gates Notes (http://www.gatesnotes.com/Books) or Derek Sivers on his personal site (https://sivers.org/book). Since advice is tricky, I'm still looking for the best way to recommend books and discover the right books at the right time. No easy task with thousands of years of texts available in fiction and non-fiction. Love this start!

@piaarre the founder has already addressed in the comments above and the site actually now has a larger and more diverse author collection.

Kudos for the great work @maurosicard!. I'm always looking for new books (or audiobooks). I will really love to see a ranking for the "most recommened book / audiobook" among founders (more content focused info, you know what I mean). Keep the hard work, and extra kudos for the fast updates!.

Love the idea and also your design. I read lots of biographies of founders and they all tend to mention books that influenced them. I always mean to check these out but than forgot the book names by the time I am back at my desk. Your site solves an actual problem - thank you :). In addition to blog posts and tweets, you should check out biographies or have readers submit books that they found referenced.
