I'm not very technical but I've been a reader of hacker news for a while. After wanting to start something, for what seems like forever, I finally made this site last weekend. The goal is to provide high quality book recommendations from successful founders. First month's featured entrepreneur is Andrew Warner.

Interesting concept, and definitely great for those who want to read business books that those founders are most likely going to recommend.

A few questions:

- Beyond getting book recommendations, how else will you offer value? Online discussions? Cliff notes?

- What happens when multiple founders recommend the same book?

- Will you be using Amazon Associates to make money through affiliate book sales?

And of course, a few comments:

- "Featured Entrepreneur:" text and entrepreneur profile image do not line up, along with the entrenpreneur's name, this is bugging me and can easily be fixed!

- You have a very simple description, but you might want to give me a reason why to give you my email address other than getting book recommendations from you

- Getting high profile entrepreneurs (like Andrew Warner) is great, but what will it really mean for me?

Great idea, hope you get a good list of subscribers!
