A friend of mine recommended a book he'd read called <i>The Plot</i>. I didn't really know what it was about, but his recommendation was enough for me to add it to my list and check it out when it became available. Pretty soon after I saw the following collection of books at the bottom of my page at the public library. <img src="{att_link}recommendations.jpg" href="{att_link}recommendations.jpg" align="none" caption="Recommendations after 'The Plot'" scale="50%"> <i>Reckless Hearts</i>, <i>Five Dares</i>, and <i>Love in Play</i> looked quite a bit more overtly racy than I'd expected. I was starting to wonder what he'd recommended. Maybe he was just messing with me? I really wouldn't put it past him? Or maybe the algorithm was really, really dumb and trigger on the genre of the author's other books. That's when I saw a whole page of recommendations that were labeled as having been made because I was <iq>interested in <i>The Plot</i></iq>. <img src="{att_link}if_you_re_interested.jpg" href="{att_link}if_you_re_interested.jpg" align="none" caption="If you’re interested in “The Plot”…" scale="50%"> Yeah, that sonofabitch broke my recommendations list for good, I think.
