It seems like it is very difficult to find any Book Lists that are not near the top one of the front page categories "Friends Liked - Most Liked - Newest - Recently Changed - Most Contributed-To - Most Watched - Most Commented-On" Even if you go to the See More page, Newest only shows 17 lists. Recently Changed shows almost 240. The 4 "Most" categories show 3 books each, but there are only 4 unique titles in those 12 slots. This is because you can't search for a list name, so people tend to look at only those lists. Some may page through the rest, but it gets tiring after 4-5 pages. You can't get popular unless you are already popular.

What I would like to see is if anyone has a list of upcoming or recently released books in my favorite genres. Why can't we search list names and/or see which lists contain a particular book?
