Site that suggests books I might like?
I saw a page once where you put in an author and it brought up a page of other authors that you might like. If I remember, the other authors sort of hovered around and were closer to the original name the more the page thought you might like it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or can anyone suggest another such page? I need new books!

Thanks.

4. One idea
There is a database called Novelist that does something like that for you. The concept is referred to as "readalikes." You can probably access it through your local public library.

5. wikipedia does something similar
when it lists famous authors favorite authors.

Personally, I'm reading through Time Magazines top 100 from a couple of years ago. Mostly wonderful stuff.
