I haven't bought much from Amazon and what I have doesn't seem to fit into their "you bought this so you might like this" program. I bought a boxed set of Wagner's Ring cycle and almost immediately got an email suggesting I might like a box set of the same thing by another orchestra/conductor. I guess you can't have too many different versions of 20+ hours of German opera.
I also ordered a set of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. (I know, I know, I shouldn't waste my time on this trashy light reading.) That was a while ago. Now suddenly I'm getting emails about books by Homer that I might like. I'm not sure who Amazon thinks Homer is. They don't seem to be too clear on the concept that the guy wrote just the two books and he's been dead for a couple of thousand years.
(What's really annoying is that I ordered the books because I couldn't find the copies I thought I owned. Of course those copies turned up as soon as I received the new books from Amazon.)
