A few years back, inspired by Derek Sivers [0], I decided to just make my own filterable book review list [1].

It was both a fun challenge (using vanilla JS to render) and has been fun to share with friends, Twitter mutuals etc.

Plus, people know it's MY reviews so if they like my suggestions/tweeting/poasting/etc, they know the review is from me and not some bot.

Sivers' list has introduced me to many great books. I can recommend "Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives - by David Eagleman" which is the fourth book on the page you linked.
