What should I read next?

What should I read next?

Enter the title and author into this search and the online book database will compare what other readers (who have read your book) have also enjoyed. Give it a whirl. It’s pretty neat.

You get some really weird results with this one. I typed in “The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy” by Pietra Rivoli. It’s a good examination of globalization using a well-known product. What do I get as a recommendation? Fahrenheit 451 and The Catcher in the Rye. Huh?

Yeah, I have a feeling that your example probably wasn’t in their database. The more people that use this database the more accurate it will become.

I tested it with Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson and it was very accurate within the genre. I actually got several books returned in the results that I have read already.
