The internet is of course full of lists about the "most anticipated" or "the hottest" books of the year/summer/etc. But these are not what I'm after.
My reading habits are a bit out of sync with the mainstream and rarely feature in lists of most popular books. (If it helps, some of my favorites include Apple in China, The Chip War, Spec Ops [by McRaven], and Chokepoints.)
I thought Goodreads would be the place to find stuff like that but was shockingly lacking.
How do you guys find (good) books to read?

I use Hacker News. How? When you're reading through threads, people often just mention a book related to the topic at hand. And I check it out.
There are lots of smart people here, and it's reflected in the books they read.
But, while you wait to find books to read, here are some interesting threads for you.
Ask HN: What nonfiction books do you keep rereading?

Good luck. The universe is expanding, read and let your mind expand too!
