π Good Books is a curated collection of book recommendations from the world's most successful, influential and interesting people. We've spent 6 months analysing 15,000+ book recommendations and have handpicked the best to add to your reading list.
Let me know who you'd love book recommendations from in the comments and I'll add them to the listπ
This project started about 6-months ago when I started to keep track of all the books that I wanted to read and who recommended them. I then got (a little) obsessed with the project and ended up accumulating over 15,000 book recommendations from about 1,250 people...
I built Good Books to share these book recommendations with the world, organising them into simple categories and industries so it's easy to find your next read.
What's next for Good Books?

Great info! To add on, MangaUpdates has a ton of info about series including which jp publisher and magazine they are from (magazines are helpful to know because they often have a similar art style or tone of story, so knowing you like multiple series from, say, Hana to Yume, is a good clue you may enjoy other series from that magazine).

Also, if you look up a series on mangaupdates.com, the description will contain links to any official translations. Source: about 1 year ago
We have mangaupdates.com to find the mangas of a certain author, but I am trying to find smaller works of authors I enjoy (such as a one-shot on Shounen Jump, for instance) and I find that our western databases are quite lacking. Do you guys know of a more comprehensive source of information (possibly a japanese website)? Source: over 1 year ago
If it's a manga adaptation, you can look it up on mangaupdates.com and look at the Anime Start/End Chapter section. It will tell you the last chapter adapted by the anime (among other things). You can then check to see if that is the last chapter of the manga. Source: over 1 year ago
You can go to mangaupdates.com and there they have a list of names, but more importantly known scanlations. If you click Search for all releases for this series it'll show what the fan name actually being used is. The link to official translations and English, will show you what the official English name is, but they also update the title on the page to show the official English name. Source: over 1 year ago
