UnSuggester

This is a good way to waste your time: The UnSuggester. It's easy to understand, but I'll explain it anyway. Type in the title of a book that you like and the Unsuggester will lists books that are least likely to share a library with your suggestion. (It will also give you good suggestions as well which isn't as fun).

For most of my choices the Unsuggested choices were Christian-related books... hmmm...

An example:
