Noting something sort of hilarious. You know how GoodReads does the "Because you read X, we recommend Y" thing in the right rail? It seems to have a slight problem.

"Because you enjoyed Yu Gi Oh volume 5, we recommend Dragonball volume 6."

"Because you read Triton of the Sea volume 2, we recommend Locke and Key volume 3."

Wut?

James Bowman Well clearly, if you like things with the number 5 in the title, you'd want to move on to things with the number 6 in the title, right?

(Mind, the recommendation engine here is wacky in other ways. Why on Earth do they think readers of TMNT would also be interested in works of high literature or erotica? Why would readers of fantasy RPGs want to move on to Eastern philosophy or true crime? When it's not blindly sequential, it's nonsensical...)

Lissibith Yeah. It does occasionally make a great recommendation, but it seems to be more or less on accident.
