- Asking google / gpt - searching for "books like ...", and then seeing goodreads review.
- Often I see people on X post about books, so I add it to my "want to read" section in goodreads. At this point i have nearly a 100 in there, so good to go for 2-3 years.
I use Hacker News. I used to use r/books but I stopped because more often than not, what they mention there doesn't appeal to me.
I use Hacker News. How? When you're reading through threads, people often just mention a book related to the topic at hand. And I check it out.
There are lots of smart people here, and it's reflected in the books they read.
But, while you wait to find books to read, here are some interesting threads for you.
Ask HN: What nonfiction books do you keep rereading?

I keep a document with a list of possible books. I separate it by subject or genres. To feed that list:
- Suggestions from other people: HN, podcast, X
- Repeat the same author when I find a book I like
- Suggestions from Amazon and Everand. Based on a book I liked
I also keep another list of the books I liked more. Then I ask to an AI. If I like those books what other books I would also like?
Book store and check reviews or summer reading lists on the times or library.
Wander the shelves at book stores and the library.
At the local library
