Personally I have always decided my next read from the bibliography at the end of any book.

I dont need a manipulative algorithm to make decisions for me.

I dont need to "track" my reading, I have a small home library.

I order my books from Waterstones or Blackwells.

I dont like book reviews. It takes away the excitement of reading.

Reading a book is an individual experience and everyone has a different view.

I dont read, visit or promote "goodreads" because it is a subsidiary of the Amazon monopoly.

Independent book stores not Amazon.

Thanks for views. I can understand that such a tool might not be relevant for someone with your reading style. However, this is no manipulative algorithm. It is just a tool to help you decide your next read based on your own reading history.
