Whichbooks.net-- a site for recommendations

Jolie just found this site. It allows you to characterize the kind of book you want to read: just slide a dial between categories like happy and sad, easy and demanding, conventional and unusual, or safe and demanding to generate a list of books that meets your description. Books in the database are published after 1995 and appear with a short user description. Oh, and you can also describe the type of characters, plot or setting that you'd like to read about. The recommendations are created by a team of 150 specialists who read all the books! (So this is sort of like Pandora radio's Music Genome Project, perhaps?) 

I asked for a gentle, disgusting and funny book and was offered White Powder, Green Light by James Hawes and Brass by Helen Walsh. 

If you live in Great Britain you can follow a "borrow" link from any book to request it from a local library.
