But Amazon helpfully sent me a list of books I might want "based on [my] browsing history.
"
Can we connect the dots?
The Pocket Pastafarian Quatrains
by Jon Smith
Did we know that there was an "epic poem of the eternal struggle for enlightenment, the Pastafarian Quatrains" much less a pocket edition? No, we did not. I do sort of need a new Flying Spaghetti Monster for the back of my car though.
The Communist Manifesto
by David Harvey
I may call myself a lefty-commie-pinko, but I haven't been buying books in support of that facile soundbite. Unless Amazon knows that I took that silly test on Facebook the other day, and was told that my "political views are Hardcore Left-Wing". But more interesting is that Amazon's email claims that The Communist Manifesto is by one David Harvey, when everyone knows that it's by Marx and Engels. What is Amazon trying to prove here?
The Selfish Gene: 40th Anniversary Edition
by Richard Dawkins
I got nothing. All of my genes are altruistic.
Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables
by by Joshua McFadden and Martha Holmberg
Yes! I love vegetables! I love cookbooks! This makes perfect sense! Maybe I'll take it out of the library. Sorry, Amazon.
