Can anyone recommend any good reads alternatives? I don’t care about the social aspect but I like to track/discover new books and I go through 60-75 a year so it can be hard

StoryGraph

Our machine learning AI is like your trusted go-to friend for book recommendations.

Doesn't seem like StoryGraph should be recommended on the "Fuck AI" community?

Machine learning isn't the same thing as generative AI though. It's basically just a vector database in the case of recommendation systems.

https://app.thestorygraph.com/ is awesome! I like the charts I get from it. There are also read-alongs and buddy reads which are nice.

Between The Storygraph, Hardcover and Italic Type, Storygraph has been the one that stuck with me

Howdy. Depending on where you live and if you have the ability to get a public library card, the Libby app is pretty great. It can offer recommendations based on books you've read, and keeps a timeline in case you want to return to something you've read in the past. Hope that helps. Cheers!
