I'm back...

I am now hooked on airing every passing thought. Or should I say venting? I just tried the Read-alike Wizard in Gale's Books and Authors. I entered the title Amulet of Samarkand and instead of the list of suggestions, I got one hit--The Amulet of Samarkand! The wizard didn't even suggest the two sequels.

Who is the bot behind the curtain?

This is kind of Web 2.0-ie, isn't it? Because it looks as though Gale is trying to be all interactive.

Oh, and the Browse by subject, character, etc. feature doesn't let you change your mind after you enter one of the limited occupations or subjects. You have to clear your selections (slowly...) and try again.
