This doesn't meet the criteria for "Show HN".

Here are the guidelines for "Show HN" submissions:

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

In particular: "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. ... Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs."

    Good point - I’ll repost without the “show”. I figured that it was a list of texts, each of which can be “tried out”, but if - as you suggest - the criterion really only applies to code, then I’ll change the post

    Update: removed the “show” from the title - thanks for the policing (I don’t want to use hacker news improperly, I love this site)

      It's mainly a list of Amazon affiliate links with no content whatsoever. It's spam.

        It’s exactly what it says on the can - a list of my favorite texts. You can get the books anywhere, not sure what you’re angry about.

        I’m in the process of reviewing each in depth, but haven’t gotten to many yet, though I do own all of them. I will post the individual reviews (the “content” I’m assuming you’re expecting, though I didn’t say was there), so stay tuned for those. Appreciate your feedback
