I have a theory that since the introduction of "favorites" on HN, people more often fave something as a "Read Later [Totally Some Day, Really, Only Just... Not Today... But I Will Soo Come Back To It]" bookmark. Thus "lists of 100 interesting books", "algorithms you must know", "write yourself an OS in 99 days", etc. etc., I feel they have tendency to behave like that. (The theory is based partially on what I observed looking at myself ;). But please note it's totally just a loose theory, I don't have data or whatever, nor I'd judge this as bad or good. Only observing with curiosity.

Anec-data: I favorite things as a "Read Later [Totally Some Day, Really, Only Just... Not Today... But I Will Soo Come Back To It]" bookmark.
Well, mostly. I do read some percentage of the articles and comments as I go, and I do go back to see updates to the comments... and to, every once in awhile, read the fave'd article.
I feel like I ought to have a side project that uses my HN favorites, pinboard links, comments, etc to seed a recommendation engine of 'other stuff you should probably read'.

I would totally use it. I considered writing something myself, but I have too many on-going side projects as it is unfortunately.
