about readby

readby is a reading map. We aggregate books that interesting people — authors, founders, podcasters, athletes, public figures — have publicly recommended, and link every recommendation to its primary source.

We started this because the existing aggregators don’t consistently cite where a recommendation came from. A book card without a source is a guess.

We have no editorial agenda. If a person has publicly recommended a book, that’s a fact about the world we’d like to preserve. We don’t score, rank, or promote — we organize.
