Any book websites with good recommendations system?Because this is what goodreads offerst
>>>/lit/
i get very nearly all my recommendation here and if i find a good book through some other means i come here and shill it every time an opportunity presents itself.
>>25205300I go on warosu and search for the book title and find threads where people recommended it alongside other books
>>25205300>>25205310Based and same. I also sometimes find shit through friends, other writers (Huysmans heavily recommends Leon Bloy IIRC), and sometimes even scholarly articles. I found the following list when I was searching for Polish pomo writers:>Aleksander Wat (Mopsożelazny Piecyk), Leopold Buczkowski (Czarny Potok), Teodor Parnicki, Jerzy Andrzejewski (Miazga), Tadeusz Konwicki, Miron Białoszewski, Tadeusz Różewicz, Piotr Wojciechowski, Adam Zagajewski, Andrzej Bart (Rien ne va plus).And a friend of mine keeps shilling Wacław Berent (Próchno) to me.I don't bother with Goodreads or anything of the sort, what I find here is more than enough to last me for a lifetime and then some. And even if I'm done with the list I built up over the years I can always just keep rereading the classics and Joyce+Pynch.

>>25205289Since amazon bought goodreads they basically stopped developing and improving their features. There is so much potential to create an excellent book recommendation website that takes into different factors (order of reading, writing style, content, etc.) but I digressI started experimenting with LLMs after reading article about it. In my experience I get better recs than on amazon or goodreads. Here how I do it:> take 5 to 10 books you pretty recently read that you liked> describe what you liked and what you disliked about each book> ask it to analyse the factors> tell it to give you recommendations and check for the identified factors
>>25205637>>25205637I've tried similar things with gpt and it's hallucinated books that don't exist. Hard to trust its recommendations. Maybe it'd be better with a custom lmms. Did you train one? I'd be interested to hear your more about your process if that's the case.
>>25206241NTA. I think your prompt might be too specific; just put in vague vibes, writing style and similarities to other authors rather than specific plot points and your experience should be pretty good. That's how I found Djuna Barnes, Giambattista Marino and Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, all of which seem right up my alley.
/lit/ recommended me ted kacyznski's book after i had just finished don quixote. i still don't understand why.
>>25206342Funny
>>25205310I do this for history and philosophy books mainly
>>25205310this but unironically.
