Debbie's Idea

This link from the Freakonomics blog is a site similar to JunkLog, but is hoping to become a reliable reference for people looking for something to read. The key diffenece is that JunkLog is item-based and Debbie's Idea is author-based.

Long before the Internet was commonly available, Debbie had the idea that it would be useful to have a reference work suggesting which book of an unfamiliar author would be best to read first. Start reading an author with a poor or atypical example of his work, she observed, and you would likely never read that writer again—perhaps losing in the process a world of pleasure and knowledge. On the other hand, since there would seldom be one right book to read first, the resource would have to be a compendium of opinions.
