Just wondering why you chose to require JavaScript for this site? It strikes me that it would have been just as easy to write it without any JavaScript, but then adding a small amount of client side JS for client side sorting when JS is available?

Very nice idea!

I would also like to see links back to collections of the discussion pages - maybe scraped and organized automatically?

I might be biased since I've been reading these books now, but I think there should be more Lisp books. It might not be strictly correct to put On Lisp, SICP, and Paradigms of AI Programming in "functional programming" (although I am not sure about a JQuery book in that category) but there are a few threads in the HN archives with solid discussion on Lisp books so I think they do deserve a place somewhere.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Did you mean to reply to me with this comment?

I originally posted that I thought books were exempt from charges, but then saw someone right below had already said (and with more certainty than me!). Sorry, probably should have either left it there or deleted it entirely.

Oh OK, no worries. My comment went from many upvotes to several downvotes, because people assumed that you were saying that my information was redundant and should be removed. We got to experience a bit of a hive-mind on HN. :)
