That is at the bottom of a lot of the posts...
IS REALLY FREAKING ME OUT.
How can it know what books I would be interested in? Unless somehow it would know of my Amazon account? It always shows medieval books and a few pagan ones, some draft horse ones - literally the type of books I would put on my wishlist.
Big brother?
Me scared.

SEE!
Understanding the Illuminated Manuscript (a medieval book), The new adventures of Flash Gordon (Flash Gordon is my fave movie) and a book on Manga (my nieces favorite comic books).
It's freaky!!!

It's veeeeeeery sneeeeeaky spy stuff!
Mine has a few right-wing books and Rush (the band, not the host) albums.
It actually is reading the Amazon cookie on your computer and giving you things that you've either looked at on Amazon, or are in the same category. The ads are particular to you. :)

Oh yeah - like what? Do you ever go browse at Amazon? If you never have, you might just get a random selection.

Two books by Stephanie Meyer and an Apple iPod? I do browse there quite frequently to get reviews, etc, but not for anything like this.

It has 2 out of 3 right for me, but the "Veganomicon?" :doh: No way, no how.
One of the ones that keeps showing up on mine is "Pretending to be Normal." :crazy:
I kid you not.
WB? Is this a joke?!? lol
