What Should I read Next?

I came across a very useful site that recommends book titles to read after you submit the title and author of your favorite book. The best thing about this site is, unlike Amazon, it doesn’t recommend specific books based on buying patterns or anything in order to just sell; “It is purely based on items that real people actually like”. These guys do get a small percentage from Amazon if you buy the books through their website - and its only enough to keep it on-line. Its an amazing project!

@Mai: Yes, this is how it works:
You sign up, add your favorite book title and author, and then create a list for that book. The list would consist of other book titles that you enjoyed and they are similar to the main favorite book. lol, is it clear now?

Its a very simple and useful tool. Maybe one day we’ll see an Arabic version of this site
