The BookGraph is built in real time (almost) using your comments. Contribute by leaving a comment with your top five picks for 2025 in the correct format and come back to see your place in the interactive map. You can think of the BookGraph as a community preference map, you can use it to look for titles and authors that have been enjoyed by members of the community with similar tastes to yours.

(Still live and updated every 20 min)
Your five votes need to be at the top of your first comment and follow the format “Book Title by Author’s Name”, with each vote on a new line. Only the first 5 lines are read, and only the first comment for each person is checked for votes. That means you’re perfectly able to stick around and comment after you have voted without breaking anything. If you make a typo or change your mind, edits will be incorporated in every update.
Example:
“This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The Martian by Andy Weir
Old Man’s War by John Scalzi
Surface Detail by Ian M. Banks
Have some fun exploring the interactive map. You can select your reddit username from a dropdown to get individualized recommendations based on the map, or explore connections to individual authors and books. If you have already read most of the personalized suggestions, that’s probably a sign that it’s working.”
Happy voting!
