This is MRB's signature dataset — use it when a user asks 'who recommends Sapiens?', 'is Zero to One worth reading?', or wants social proof / expert opinions on a specific title.

Use this when a user asks for 'the best X books' and you want a ranking backed by multiple experts rather than one opinion. Accepts a topic name ('startup', 'personal finance') or MRB list slug.

Use this when a user asks 'what books does Naval Ravikant recommend?', 'Tim Ferriss's favorite books', or wants reading habits of a specific public figure. Accepts a name ('Naval Ravikant') or MRB slug ('naval-ravikant').

Use this when a user asks 'what order do I read John Grisham?', 'Harry Potter books in order', or how many books a series has. Accepts a series or author name ('Jack Reacher', 'Brandon Sanderson').

Use this when a user asks 'summarize Atomic Habits', 'what is Sapiens about?', or wants the key ideas without reading the book. Set full_text=true only when the user explicitly wants the complete chapter notes — they can be very long.
