I always find that recommendation websites suffer in the long-term because the incentive to just keep adding more stuff (to keep the site not seem stagnant, thus make people come back) is greater than the incentive to strictly filter only super high quality things. How is this site going to tackle that problem?
I don't mind if the site is stagnant.
not enough fiction recommendations :)

Uncompromising focus on people. I don't mind if the site is stagnant.
I miss filter by category (I have tons of books on TODO list already and I wanted to quickly check everything beside books).
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it.

You can search in tags (example: Philosophy, Book), but it doesn't do what you are looking for. Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Plan on taking investors? Because that last sentence might make it a challenge, much as I agree with it.
What could investment do for a site like this?
Scale, curation, combating spammed submissions to AJ, etc. might be the biggest things if the site gains momentum, but if the site remains a hobby project indefinitely (which I think is totally fine regardless of popularity), then it's absolutely not needed.
- Link the name to a list with all the recommendations by that person, use the date for a link to the place where the recommendation was made (using the date for a permalink is convention).
- Link tags.
- Show everyone who recommended something and sort by how many people recommended it. (For instance The Pragmatic Programmer is recommended by Joel Spolsky, Steve Yegge and Jeff Atwood.)
- Use Amazon Affiliate links to make money.
