That's the main reason I love Netlix so much. It's awesome! How I wish goodreads, amazon, etc. would do that too. That’s the main reason I love Netlix so much. It’s awesome!

It bugs me a bit, that someone so accurately calls my tune. And ditto on the book end of it. Life is too short to read bad fiction. If I want that, I'll write it myself.

Books are likley going to go the way of Netflix anyway, especially with the eBook movement. I do like your idea of a more personalized touch/psychic ability to predict books more suited to your taste. I have a hard time reading through Amazon reviews when I'm looking for books, because it seems like a lot of people don't write really insightful reviews of the books. Makes it harder to judge. But if Amazon and friends could make better recommendations in a Netflix fashion ... I might use them more. :-) <a href="http://www.guerrillawordfare.com/" rel="nofollow">Lizzy Ford</a> Lol … very cute (and true!)

Any site who offered such a service would probably be rolling in it because it'd be the first stop for bibliophiles everywhere, not to mention the word of mouth advertising they'd get.

Not necessarily for me for Amazon, since I don't do a lot of reviews there, but surely it would be just amazing if implemented at Goodreads. I'm already in love with that site for all its social aspects - now if it could tell me if I'm likely to like a book? Wow! I like this idea!
