    Similar book suggestions?
    Hello all,

    I'm fascinated with quantum physics, and when I'm done reading a book, I love to search for books on the same topic.

    I've read almost everything that seems interesting to me from Barns and Noble, but I was wondering if anyone here knew of a website that you can type in a book, and it will suggest other books that related in subject matter.

    I've stumbled on a few music search engines like that. You type in the artist, then it stems off into different artist that are similar to the one you typed in.

    So if anyone knows of anything like that, Please let me know.

    Thank you

    Your local public library is your source for reader's advisory searches. A library's Web site should have a search box (enter keyword, author, title, or subject) that will take you to similar books at that library or even at others if your library is part of a system. Your library will be able to connect you to WorldCat too which allows you to do a similar kind of search. Amazon has as nifty reader's advisory search feature. Have you tried any of those?

    I second the Amazon suggestion. I can spend hours looking at suggested reading material.
