Return one of MRB's 1,300+ consensus 'best books' lists for a topic (startups, stoicism, finance, sci-fi…). Every book on a list was recommended by at least two independent expert sources and is ranked by how many sources mention it. 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.
