Useful Things: Book Genie

on
You can never have too many book recommendation services. Booklamp's claim to fame is that it recommends books based on their content - think Pandora. According to the website:

We're attempting to help you find books with similar themes and writing style to books you've enjoyed in the past - comparing elements like Description, Pacing, Density, Perspective, and Dialog - while at the same time allowing you to specify details like... more Medieval Weapons.
Booklamp is focusing on "book dna" to help match like with like. You can search by author, title, or genre to see what the service recommends for you. For each result, you can see the "book dna" and just why the book was recommended.

The service is free, but still in its infancy - the more you check back, the better it gets. Check out the blog for the most recent additions and changes.

I've tried out Booklamp a couple of times and have not had any success unless I put in a bestseller-type book. So it works great if that is the kind of book a person likes but anything off the beaten path, still needs work to be useful. I hope it gets there.

I have to agree. I think this is one site that will get better the more people use it.
