This is an excellent format. For each book I came away with a clear idea of whether I'd like to read it or not.
Except The Antimemetics Division, which I have read before and I think there might be some useful things to say about. Principally its bleakness; I find the antimemetics itself quite interesting and appropriately creepy, and qntm is an excellent writer, but I'm not sure I've read such a collection of accounts of good people trying to stand up against fearsome enemies and consistently failing and losing such that their society is likely doomed.
