The
Book Seer is a neat book recommendation engine that I discovered last night through Kristen Swanson's
Teachers as Technology Trailblazers blog. The
Book Seer is very easy to use. To get a book recommendation just type in the title and author of a book that you've recently read and the
Book Seer will spit out a list of related titles and authors that you might enjoy. I tested the
Book Seer with four different titles. The more obscure titles,
Snow in the Kingdom
, and
A Good Life Wasted
yielded no results but
The World Is Open
and
Hatchet
yielded plenty of results.

Applications for Education
The Book Seer could be a great little tool for students to use after reading a book that they've enjoyed. As good as the Book Seer is, I think I prefer Your Next Read's interface and recommendations.
