       | Seems good. A few comments.
       | 
       | - Why is it called What to Read _After_? One doesn't put an input
       | book in.
       | 
       | - "Chick Lit" is probably not PC in this day and age.
       | 
       | - There are lots and lots of sections, but i can only choose one
       | after the genre?

       | I can only select 1 story attribute ( but multiple genres.) Is
       | this intended?

         | Same here. I was only able to select one overall attribute. Not
         | leading to a very helpful result. Probably something my
         | adblocker is blocking. Oh well.

       | This is a neat idea, but I was really hoping I could type in a
       | book title that I am currently reading and it would recommend
       | "what to read after..." that book.

         | The title definitely implies that this is what you can do, I
         | was definitely disappointed.

           | an account, rate some books, then request a rec with all of
           | the fields blank.

       | Most of the books it recommended were extremely popular titles
       | (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Martian, etc) and so out of the
       | first 5 recommendations I got, I had already read 4 of them. This
       | would be a lot more useful with a larger catalog.

       | I got an empty red bar and, when I clicked on it, it said
       | "error." This doesn't seem very personalized. I mostly read
       | textbooks and the closest genre match is "nonfiction," which is
       | pretty broad, and if that's all I get to select, I'm guessing
       | you're going to show me puff-piece crap by ex Navy Seals and
       | ultra endurance athletes that top the best seller lists. Not
       | exactly what I'm looking for. Personalized implies it would
       | recommend based on what you've read and enjoyed in the past.
