don't know what to read next?

i haven't tested the results of my searches by reading any of the recommendations, but whatshouldireadnext.com is a wicked good idea. book suggestions are based on items entered into personal favourites lists; unlike amazon's recommendations, the information is based on mass opinion rather than spending patterns. i know my own amazon purchases are often gifts for others (Stokes Field Guide To Bird Songs Western Region for my mom on her birthday), or required texts for courses, and i know that i don't always like the books i buy. take it for a spin and see what you find.
