Many of you are probably familiar with AbeBooks... but you may not know they now have a blog syndicated at [livejournal.com profile] abebooksblog! Now you, too, can keep up with all the latest news in the world of books... such as the Unsuggester, which takes one of your favorite books and tells you which other books you wouldn't like. Apparently I should avoid (surprise!) evangelistic Christians...

I tried the "unsuggester" on Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear, with interesting results. There were nine books on their list that I also owned...8 of them were books of rhetoric, classical studies, or philosophy. One was Liar's Poker, about Wall Street.

Under no circumstances should I read any John Grisham, however. Both the Forde and Charles Stross's Iron Sunrise came back with bunches of Grisham on the anti-list!

That is interesting... I imagine you have a wider range than most. (Though I mostly looked at the top 3 or 4 un-matches.)
