When you’re looking for a good book to read, you have a few options. You could rely on a recommendation that someone gave you, go to the bookstore or library and wonder around browsing through books, or you could visit a site called What Should I Read Next. It’s a site I actually Stumbled Upon thanks to StumbleUpon, and it recommends books to you based upon a database of readers’ favorite books.
The site is pretty plain, but it does what it needs to do. When you visit What Should I Read Next for the first time, it will start by having you enter in the Title and Author of a book that you like and then you’ll get a page of recommended reads, based upon that.
To start, I entered the title of the book I last read, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling. Then it returned a page of books that might interest me. For those who want more accurate suggestions, they can become a member, add a bunch of books they liked to a list which helps build the database, and then receive better results.

From my experience using the service briefly, some of the results it provided me with were a little off the wall, while others were spot-on.
I tried to use the service but somehow, they won’t even let me submit The DaVinci Code. The service keep suggesting to me a bundle of DaVinci Code and Cracking DaVinci Code which I did not read. The idea of the service is good but can be improved further.
