It’s been a long time since last.fm and Pandora have been launched. Those two great sites can help you find music you may like thanks to complicated algorithms. A similar site has been launched to find out which books might be of interest to you.

It’s called WhatShoulIReadNext and is a pretty simple site in which you plug in the author and the title of a book you liked, so that the can find something similar. Basically it’s a shortcut when looking for similar books, which are probably going to be the ones the reader expects to find.

The guys who create provide links to similar books sold on amazon.com,which is probably their main source of revenue thanks to its affiliate program.

My overall impression is that this site is very useful and I am definitely going to you it instead of using amazon’s own search engine.
