web: What Should I Read Next?

Sure, Amazon provides you with lists of what other people buy when they buy a book you’re interested in. But there’s a big difference between buying truck loads of books off Amazon and actually enjoying something - or, indeed, buying it somewhere else.

For this episode of ChannelFlip Tech, we take a look at this fantastic book recommendation service that bases its opinions on what you love, not what you buy. Enjoy!

I experimented by putting in a few of my favourites and it came up with some interesting suggestions.

I came very close to ordering my first book by Dostoevski but the broken link on the page (and my being too lazy to search elsewhere on Amazon for it) thwarted me so I ended up getting King Solomon’s Mines instead lol

Just entered “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson,. Of the 10 suggestions I’ve read 6 already, and either liked or LOVED them. Nice work!
