Joel (deliriumtrigger) | 312 comments Let's give this type of topic a shot! I want to keep this AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE so as not to overcomplicate things. The idea is as it sounds: Say "if you like xx well known book, then you should read yy lesser known or similar book". I don't think there needs to be a ton of rules about what qualifies a book for either category, just something you feel could help out.

Let's go with this exact format, just for simplicity sake. I'll do an actual example, to show people:
---------------------------------

If You Liked:
The Broken Empire Series by Mark Lawrence
I Think You Might Like:
The Psalms of Isaak by Ken Scholes
Why I Think You'll Like It:
While Psalms of Isaak lacks a lot of the anti-hero grimdark that Mark Lawrence's books had, it has a bit of a similar feel in that it's a future post-apoc type world, where past advanced technology is being uncovered piece by piece and causing drama. One of the main focal points are a group of humanoid robots created by the Church, which are struggling between opposing forces trying to control them.

There's a ton of political drama, romance, technology both old and new, magic and adventuring. It's a truly enjoyable series that is very unappreciated and under-read.

----------------

See, that wasn't so hard. Now everyone else give it a try.
