Here's an idea: Instead of making terrible recommendations, send me notifications when items on my list go on sale.
My recent favourite from Amazon was one of their endless you might be interested in purchasing emails. This for an item that I looked at once and purchased. This email arrived at the same time as emails asking me for a review and to rate my purchase.

As for Amazon's ability to suggest books? They are generally good for a laugh. Since you recently purchased Babel-17, we have these alien shifters lusting after Earth girls "science fiction" that you will be interested in.
