Interesting concept, and definitely great for those who want to read business books that those founders are most likely going to recommend.
A few questions:
- Beyond getting book recommendations, how else will you offer value? Online discussions? Cliff notes?
- What happens when multiple founders recommend the same book?
- Will you be using Amazon Associates to make money through affiliate book sales?
And of course, a few comments:
- "Featured Entrepreneur:" text and entrepreneur profile image do not line up, along with the entrenpreneur's name, this is bugging me and can easily be fixed!
- You have a very simple description, but you might want to give me a reason why to give you my email address other than getting book recommendations from you
- Getting high profile entrepreneurs (like Andrew Warner) is great, but what will it really mean for me?
Great idea, hope you get a good list of subscribers!

I'm not very technical but I've been a reader of hacker news for a while. After wanting to start something, for what seems like forever, I finally made this site last weekend. The goal is to provide high quality book recommendations from successful founders. First month's featured entrepreneur is Andrew Warner.
