What Amazon.com Really Thinks Of You

It's always nice to find out what Amazon.com and their algorithms think of you. This morning, in the "You Might Like" section of my amazon page, was a recommendation for a book I had never heard of titled Nothing is Strange with You by James Jeffrey Paul. Thinking perhaps is was some sort of self-help book or perhaps guide to esoteric knowledge, I began to read their description:

A young man kidnaps his own nephew and makes him his servant and sex slave.


Thanks, Amazon. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's recommendation The Dos and Don'ts of Restraining Orders.

Depending on how you look at it, that book COULD be a self-help book for the right person! I'm mulling it over as I write this......

That reminds me of our friend Seth's comment about Pasolini's Salo: "It's actually a very optimistic, postive movie if you identify with the fascists."

I always thought that was how you were supposed to watch Salo since they win in the end!

I'm trying to figure out what's worse: The fact that Amazon.com thought you would enjoy a book about a man who turns his nephew into a sex slave, or that someone actually wrote a book about a man who turns his nephew into a sex slave.
