This is really cool. How are you parsing the posts to find the books? Are you just searching for amazon links? I was looking at the audiobook section, it might be worth it adding audible a source.
What would be really cools is to have a 'related to this book' part. For example I really enjoyed 'We are legion, we are bob', so I'm guessing that the posts where this book was mentioned should be links to other related books I might like.
