What Should I Read Next?
No, this is not a plea.
Really, I have a giant stack of books to read, so all I need to do is reach randomly into the stack and pull out something miraculous. No, this is to help you, dear reader, pick out something new to read.
As a computer geek, I love anything that programatically generates something new based on previous information. Markov Chains, for instance, are fascinating to me, even if I barely understand them. So, when I saw this website, What should I read next?, I had to share it with you. To use it, go, enter the last good book you read and its author, then clikc the big button. In a few seconds, the page will refresh with a link to what it thinks you meant, which will hopefully be the book you had in mind. Then, click on that link and you’ll be taken to a list of suggestions for what you should read next.
I’m not sure I entirely trust it, though, since when I used Choke by Chuck Palahnuik, it returned a bunch of Photoshop books. Still, it’s a fun way to get shoved out of your little reading rut! So, go ahead and try it!
I want to know why comments are closed on the previous post, seeing as how that’s the one I wanted to post on… lol….
I have ALWAYS found geekiness sexy… regardless of the paycheck!

Not sure why comments were closed, but they’re open now.
Funny that you say that, about geekiness and being sexy, since, you know, I only hear that from people dating someone else. Usually, not someone in a geek profession, either. Now, why do you think that is?
