Click the Lifehacker link right below this sentence to see the video demo, or just go to the website and have some fun…very cool…

Lifehacker: “Web site BookLamp analyzes books by writing style, recommending new
books you might liked based on how closely they match your previously
loved reads, very similar to how music web site Pandora suggests new
music you may like based on style.

Do
you like Stephen King’s It, but thought it was too long? The technology
behind BookLamp allows you to find books that are written with a
similar tone, tense, perspective, action level, description level, and
dialog level, while at the same time allowing you to specify details
like… half the length.

The video above demonstrates the technology behind BookLamp, and
while the service is still rather young and currently has a limited
selection (it’s still in beta), it seems to have potential. If you give
it a look, let’s hear how well it does matching your tastes in the
comments.”
