Towards a better book recommendation service 

Joe Wikert points out that

Just because I’m Facebook friends with you doesn’t mean we have the same reading interests. In fact, I’d be willing to bet my reading interests don’t map very well to any of my friends, real or virtual. . . . We try to take one aspect of our lives and have it spit out book recommendations. That model is doomed to fail every time.

In a way it sounds scary, but I'm also attracted to the idea of a service that could mine all of my online activity in order to provide book recommendations.

Library ladders and spiral staircases galore!
