This is an interesting concept only apparently my likes are too wierd since almost every book friends recommend turns out to be something I don't like. I could probably use there recommendations as a negative and be ahead of the game.

I do understand about there, they're and their" for example & to is not equal to two or too. but "your & you're" bothers me more and I hate to read "alot" as in a lot of books. Before I retired, a coworker swore that was the correct spelling. He looked it up on Wikipedia and read, " 'Alot' - how a moron spells 'a lot'." I felt quite vendicated.
