The Book Seer

The Book Seer has been on the Links to Interesting Sites on my sidebar since at least February 2010, when I first wrote about it.  But I've discovered it again and want to share it with you.  Enter a book title and author, and The Book Seer will suggest other books you might like to read.  I entered:

Honest to God ~ by John A. T. Robinson (a 1963 book I read in the early 1970s and one that's important in my understanding of God and religion)

and the Book Seer came back with this list of similar or related books that might interest me:

• The Plague ~ by Albert Camus (I read this 1948 novel as an English major in college, about the same time I read Honest to God)
• Introducing Liberation Theology ~ by Leonardo Boff (I haven't read this 1987 book, but have read articles by Boff)
• Leviathan: With Selected Variants from the Latin Edition of 1668 ~ by Thomas Hobbes (I haven't read this 1668 book, but I did study Hobbes as an undergraduate philosophy major)
• On Liberty ~ by John Stuart Mill (same here, I studied and taught Mill, but read only excerpts of this book published in 1859)
• A New Christianity for a New World: Why Traditional Faith is Dying and How a New Faith is Being Born ~ by John Shelby Spong (I read this 2001 book and several others by this author)
• Sexism and God Talk: Toward a Feminist Theology ~ by Rosemary R. Ruether (when I read this 1983 title, I glanced to my right and took it off my shelf)
• Situation Ethics: The New Morality (Library of Theological Ethics) ~ by Joseph Fletcher (I read this 1966 book for a philosophy class and wrote one of my most memorable college papers about situation ethics)
• Waiting for God ~ by Simone Weil (I read this 1951 book several years ago.  Albert Camus described her as "the only great spirit of our times.")
• The Trial and Death of Socrates ~ by Plato (I also read this in a college philosophy class)
• Dynamics of Faith ~ by Paul Tillich (I've read this 1957 book on the philosophy of religion and several other books by Tillich)

All in all, I'd say The Book Seer does an excellent job of instantly finding comparable books.
