A Book Like Foo is a book recommendation engine. It discovers books tailored to specific tastes and themes, selected from hundreds of thousands of titles. Often it will reveal unintuitive but accurate recommendations. It is not limited by the assumptions we generally make about what books we think people might like.

My name is James and I've been building and re-building this platform over five years, updating it yearly with new books, new tooling, and tweaking its backing algorithms. This site is purely funded by my own pocket, so I ask that, if you've gained any value from it, please consider donating on ko-fi.

Try searching for you own favourites and see what matches with your most-adored books.
