I hate finishing a book.
It can take days sometimes for that melancholic feeling to pass. After I finishing mourning my last read, I enter into the paralysis of indecision: What will I read next? My problem is there are so many good books to read.

Search for a book that you have read, and YourNextRead creates a web of similar books that you might enjoy. The related books are chosen based on input from other users, which as an educator I would love to have connected to reading level. But, the bonus to this method is your book maps change according to your likes and dislikes. Notice the thumbs up and down - those allow you to (like Pandora) customize your map.
