People have said this in the past too. Of course you're right. I simply haven't had the time. If anyone wants to make one big book review directory, that would be great. They could organize it intelligently and I would zap the hell out of a well thought out post. The problem, though, is that it cannot be updated until we get some sort of perpetual post option on SN.
Would you be interested in an AI generated classification?
reply
That would probably make sense. Then I can save the prompts and run them periodically
reply
If you provide me a list of groupings you want them grouped in, I can probably get that done some time in the next few weeks.
reply
Here are some I came up with. I'm by no means saying this is definitive. Suggestions, edits, additions?
Bitcoin
Economics
Philosophy
Memoir
How To
Science Fiction
History
General Fiction
General Non-fiction
Children's Books

Hmm, my only concern would be the substantial overlap between bitcoin and economics.
What if bitcoin doesn't have its own genre, but is a tag, so we'd have Economics (Bitcoin-Related), Science Fiction (Bitcoin-Related), etc.
reply
Good idea. I also should include a politics category, or maybe just libertarian, knowing this bunch😀
reply
Really wish we had a bitcoin emoji, because it would be cool if the list had an emoji for any title that was bitcoin related
Economics
-
non-bitcoin economics book
-
(â‚¿) bitcoin-related economics book
Guess we could just use the unicode, it's not that bad looking
reply
Yes. That's not bad.
Thanks. I'll work on it.

There's a few reasons why a structured data approach wouldn't work that well. First, it would require the review writers to include the structured data in an easily identifiable and consistently-formatted way. Second, it would require that the categories used by the data providers are the categories we want. However, I'd reckon that here on SN we'd want our own categories, like "Bitcoin-Related Non-Fiction".

Check out this hack for a perpetual post option on SN:

I don't think it needs to be perpetual; the SN seems to lend itself better to conversations, rather than wikies and stickies.
While SN is relatively small, it's still feasible to find old posts through "related posts"; as it grows, that will become unwieldy, so it's logical to just link to a chain of previous posts, as some other posters are already doing.

True. I'm not sure if it makes sense in this limited context, though, since each book review stands on its own.
