Well... "These recommendations are based on your past purchase behaviour and based on other books that similar customers have bought."

I've "bought" the free 'Umberto Eco collection' we could get around Christmas, 'Stolen Away' (also free), 'Good Omens', 'The Way of Kings' and 'A Song of Ice and Fire' (1-4).

All of that is fiction, the bigger part is fantasy. Now the newest recommendations for me:

1. PHP for the Web
2. Count Down Calendars: 24 Stitched Projects...
3. Handmade Style: Stitch
4. Compassionate Knitting

Uhm... huh?

None of the recommended books are fantasy and I have no interested in PHP or sewing/cross stitching or knitting "based on a contemplative theme drawn from Shambhala Buddhism and Eastern arts or, in some cases, Western notions of the magical and mindful".
