Eh most people don't have a Goodreads.

Like, a "Goodreads" official list of Elon musk / Steve jobs / Obama recommended books so I don't have to sort through the chaff.

Or a "Goodreads presents: John Carmaks favorite computer programming books."

Basically an employee or moderator builds the list, or they explicitly work with someone like John Carmack to make a "Goodreads official" list
