Five Books

We're running a short series this week for websites that do one thing and one thing only really well. Many sites try to branch into a variety of uses or focuses but there's a number of really good one-feature sites. We'll celebrate the best of them this week.

Five Books is a good place to start. It's a great concept: interview smart people, ask them for five book recommendations, and ask them why they chose the books they did. The interviews are interesting and the book recommendations usually cover a topic from different angles.

If you know what you're looking for, you can probably get away with looking at reviews on the major sites. If you want to learn more or browse an area, Five Books is the place to start.
