An audiobook costs $6,000 to make. That's why 90% of books are never heard.
We make them for $99. With music and sound effects.

Doesn’t matter if you’re using Kindle, Audible, or even a print book. Log your sessions mid-read or after the fact, and snap a pic of any page to make highlights and extract text using OCR. That way you can also have all your notes in one place.
Lex’s goal is to bring you the best reading recommendations possible. The more you log, the better your recommendations.
Did you know that Lex Premium users can generate one free audiobook per month?
Probably not, considering I just shipped this feature an hour ago.
Let me know if you like the 8 default voices…and stick around the till the end for a surprise.
Ryan Gosling is great and all, but this is what I actually pictured Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary sounding like.

Ever wonder why Spotify has such good music recommendations? The secret is the playlist. Playlists capture something more elusive and ineffable than genres. Any time you make a playlist, you are informing the platform about an underlying vibe connecting the songs therein. The algorithm picks up on this vibe, identifies a lookalike audience, and the result is a Discover Weekly playlist that actually manages to give you good song recommendations every Sunday.
Lex has the equivalent for reading: the bookshelf, of which there are 4,463 and counting. Anyone can make a shelf, and you can also browse official ones to find your next read. Every shelf gets us one step closer to making the ultimate recommendation algorithm for books...So keep making, saving, and sharing shelves. It might just get the world reading again.
Make sure you're vote is informed.

Returning in 2026—
The Chivalry Book Club
January: Two Swords of Christ (Ibrahim)

I'm aiming for a proper mix of history, literature, virtue ethics, and more, medieval and modern. The plan is to read the books and gather for Spaces at the end of the month to discuss. (Rumor has it that Raymond Ibrahim will be joining us at the end of January to talk his new book.) Some of these conversations might be open to all, but most will be for subscribers to the Chivalry Guild.
We will also have more informal weekly Spaces for subscribers to discuss all things chivalric and chivalry-adjacent (virtue, vitality, history, politics, strategy, great men, etc).
Sign up if interested and stay tuned!
