Big Brother is Watching...

Whenever I order from Amazon, they send me an email recommending other books I might like. "We notice customers who expressed interest in ... have also purchased ..." They remind me of recent books I've looked at. It creeps me out.

When they send their "buy stuff" emails, I usually ignore them. Look, Amazon, just because I ordered a self-help book doesn't mean I want 6 more. But today I got a recommendation that rocked my world. I really want this book! It's 36 bucks - oy.

Anyway, thanks to Amazon's tracking system, I got a list of subjects that Yaakov and I have either browsed or purchased from.

    Looks interesting. I wish I had more uninterupted time to read between diapers.

    If "little brother" may peek in... if you're interested in Jewish, new age and personal growth, you might want to check out Torah Journeys by Rabbi Shefa Gold. You can find it on Amazon, or visit
    http://rabbishefagold.com/Torah1.html to see previews.

    I wrote a review dissing some children's books on Amazon, and now they send me announcements when more books by that author are available for sale. I just don't understand. Kate Dino
