You know what I mean - both Amazon and Goodreads are guilty of this one. You read a book. You liked it (or not), and suddenly another website comes up with suggestions for you, probably based on one word in the title, or based on the genre.....
If I loved a book I certainly may not love the one a computer programme found for me - especially as quite often I read it years ago anyway or I tried it recently and it was utter dross. This morning GRs offered me a title that when I investigated, I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. On the old site we did have a thread for a while along these lines, but far more trustworthy as the suggestions came from humans. Many of the books I have really loved I have found from suggestions by RISI friends - and that will do me thank you v. much!
