For anime we have myanimelist.com, for (asian) dramas we have mydramalist.com; and both seems to work, for both tracking and for recommendations... but something like that for books does not exist.
Goodreads acts as the tracker for me, but a recommendations engine it absolutely sucks. It has never recommended me a book ever, I have to rely on /r/fantasy to churn out new recommendations for me.
In the age of AI and LLM and whatever bullshit, how hard is it for Amazon (owner of AWS) to see my read list (which I diligently update) and recommend me something based on the things I've read before, give more weight to my latest reads, and match the sentiments with the text of other books (which they have access too, and it's just text no audio/video bullshit)?
If Youtube can do it, if god damn Twitter can do it, why can't Amazon?

(we do have mybooklist.com, but it simply does not work properly, it just seems to be a simple and literal "list" aggregator, from other sources, like newspaper etc.)
- ausp 3y agoMay I suggest that you try TheStoryGraph? I've found it fills that need for me nicely and, as a bonus, offers an import service for Goodreads data - no need to start over. The recommendation engine hasn't steered me wrong yet, and the roadmap/developer interaction and feedback are very good indeed.
