I find Goodreads recommendations to be stale. I have ~200 books in my account, all with my personal ratings, but I never seem to get any new recommendations from Goodreads as I add new books. The recommendations I do get are usually just ma

It kills me to see because Amazon is the entity that could build the best book recommendation engine of all time. And it would help them sell more books!
