The Reader's Robot is an automated reader's advisor.
You select your favorites from 10 groups of award winning
novels and, based on your selections, the computer recommends
other novels you might enjoy.

You are also asked to contribute novels you've enjoyed.
That way, the Robot's database grows and your recommendations
are passed on to other readers.

The robot now only deals with Mystery and Science Fiction
novels, but other genres are planned (Horror, Popular Science).
The database is presently quite small, but it is
growing. You can help it grow!
