Human error? You are being way too nice. Btw, I have a link for you. jh Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 10:02:35 AM
to a certain extent.


Of course, maybe if I added all read but unowned books, it would be more accurate... Or if I dug up the other half of my books from my brother's cellar, in order to give it better statistics... :P


I have been considering that, too; but looking up 20 years of reads is a daunting prospect.

They do have recommendations for individual books, though. Some are generated by the website, and some are recommended by people.


the individual books thing is more of a "You liked Gene Wolfe? Try Terry Goodkind!" system, which really is quite unfair.


Yes. Human error is horrible to behold.


That's not an error, it is an atrocity.

Also, about the link, if you do not go there today, you might need to go back to today's date... I couldn't manage a direct link.
