Unsuggester

The perfect tool for those looking for strange connections. What are the weirdest connections you have found? Also: examples of the rare time you enter a book and the Unsuggestion is another book you own.

Summer for the Gods unsuggested The Vampire Lestat. It seems I am more likely to have read/owned a non-fiction/fiction pairing than a two-fiction one.

Stiff by Mary Roach unyields On the Genealogy of Morals by Nietzsche. Presumably someone's library has the most unDoppelgängers. 0_o

Inasmuch as UnSuggester needs at least 75 copies to work with, I began with that and began working my way up.

The Dot and the Line by Norton Juster | The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis.

Juliette by Marquis de Sade | A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.

The Powers of Ten by Philip Morrison | The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis again.

Process and Reality by Alfred North Whitehead | Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkein.

Terrible Swift Sword by Bruce Catton | Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Occidentalism by Ian Buruma | Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and, again, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.

I'll stop now.

Story of O by Pauline Reage brought up Desiring God : meditations of a Christian hedonist by John Piper. Sweet!

And how fitting is the unsuggestion Captivating : unveiling the mystery of a woman's soul by John Eldredge for A Clockwork Orange?

Likewise Stiff by Mary Roach | How Should We Then Live? by Francis A. Schaeffer (I have read and owned the latter, but don't currently have a copy).

When We Were Orphans by Kazuo Ishiguro

unsuggests

The Laughing Corpse by Laurell K. Hamilton

I own both books but I haven't yet read either of them.

Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore

unsuggests

"Magician" by Raymond E. Feist

and I have both in my library

Also: examples of the rare time you enter a book and the Unsuggestion is another book you own.

EVERY TIME I enter a book at least one of the unsuggestions is another book I own -- usually two or three.

Maybe I'm more ecclectic than I realized?
