Maybe I'm taking recommendations too broadly for your taste, but it's all the same thing, whether its book stores deciding that mysteries, science fiction and westerns won't all be shelved together or your neighbor recommending the latest James Patterson thriller.

I just want to decide and search myself, both when shopping and when browsing my library for my next read. That was true for paper books too. I browse the genres I like, read synopses, look inside; I don't want others' opinions what I should buy or read, be it my neighbor, other readers or store algorithms. Why, I can't actually explain, I've just always been that way. Perhaps it's part of my generally antisocial personality.
