Try this. It's mad, but fun. You position a cursor along a number of scales of things you may or may not look for in a book, for example 'no sex' versus 'sex' or 'easy' versus 'demanding', then press go and up pops a book recommendation.
Sorry Debi, more displacement activity. Just what you needed.
I've been manipulating it like crazy but haven't yet managed to get it to recommend Taking Comfort.

Hello, Roger. I travelled here via Debi Alper's blog. I just tried that site and found it only took four category preferences before it blinked the "go" bit at me and forced me to receive a recommendation. That came up with some poetry which is not my ilk at all.
So I tried again, picking four categories non sequentially that time. It still called a hault on the four I'd answered.
Does the same happen to you?
An excellent post title, by the way. That'll get you more visits! :-)
Crap, isn't it. Nice idea though. If only it worked.
But maybe it is a way of finding out about books you wouldn't otherwise know about? In which case, not all bad.
I'm thinking of developing a version of it where every book it suggests is this one. But that probably doesn't surprise anyone.
Oh, forgot to say, Hi crimeficreader! Thanks for popping in.
