I agree with what you are saying, on the other hand I noticed that what
Amazon offers is right on spot and I can recognize it is valid thanks to
previous contacts I had, see through professors or readers with whom I
communicate. [Anny B]

Oh yes, Amazon's recommendations are very often helpful. But that almost
makes it worse. Rather than opting in, having the (aspirational, sociable)
feeling that X rather liked this book so I may well like it too, I have the
uneasy feeling that membership of a group is being imposed on me from
outside: someone, as it were, has been telling _the truth_ about Josef K.
