An interesting site gives book previews without cover or title

This is to help prevent any preconceptions before sampling a book. It's an interesting experiment in my opinion. Some books are easy to deduce whether one has read them or not while other aren't and so fit the idea better. It would be nice to be able to have filters such as genre but otherwise I like this idea.

Different.
What is the actual idea? I got a very small sample of a business book. The sad part, it pretty much gave away the entire book in that sample.

I think this is a lot of fun. I like that the books are all "quality" books. I haven't seen anything I haven't heard of yet, but it jogged my memory about a couple of books which I've always meant to read and I'm happy about that.

Thanks sun surfer. It's a neat idea, I like it a lot. As you already suggested, I don't think it will be all that practical until you can apply some sort of filters, but it is an intriguing idea with lots of room for expansion.
