Some websites to help you find a "good book":
Whichbook.net
gives readers an enjoyable and intuitive way to find books to match their mood.
Instead of starting from the overwhelming choice of books available, whichbook starts from the reader and enables each individual to build the elements of that elusive 'good read' we are all looking for but don't quite know how to define.
What Should I Read Next? Enter a book you like and the site will analyze our database of real readers' favorite books (over 47,000 and growing) to suggest what you could read next.
