Each answer is a book. For each listed book, if I read the book and like it enough to rate it 5 stars on The StoryGraph, then it resolves YES. If I give it any other rating or if I don't finish it within a year of spending my first 15 minutes reading it, it resolves NO.

Questions will remain unresolved indefinitely if I don't read a book. I may choose at some point to close out this question and resolve all remaining options (that I haven't started reading) NA. I also resolve the right to resolve an answer NA for any reason within a week of it being added.

I won't bet on this question, except possibly to add answers.

your list requires a login? is there another place to access it?

@shankypanky I copied them into the question description.

great thanks! I spot some essays on the book list - are you looking for essay recommendations as well?

@shankypanky Sure, though I might stop accepting more essay recommendations if there are too many essays and not enough books recommended
