Weird Amazon.com Recommendations

By Kevin on March 30, 2006 3:04 PM | | Comments (1)

I received the following email from Amazon.com:

We've noticed that customers who have purchased Gilead: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson also purchased books by James Kachadorian. For this reason, you might like to know that James Kachadorian's Passive Solar House: Using Solar Design to Cool And Heat Your Home will be released soon. You can pre-order your copy at a savings of 37% by following the link below.

Huh? Can someone make the connection between Robinson's novel and solar heating your home? Does this say something about Gilead readers? Are the liberal Greens or conservative crunchies? Are did the Amazon computers just burp out a mistake?

Either there's a random book association generator in their software, someone paid to have that association, or only one person has bought Gilead and another book at the same time, and this was it!

Wonderful! Who could dream up stuff like this?
