Limitations of Amazon Recommendations (The Author)

I note that some of today's recommendations for books that I might be interested in purchasing from Amazon.ca are (in order of appearance):

• The Velveteen Rabbit, by Margery Williams
• Introduction to the Philosophy of History, by Georg Wilhelm Hegel
• Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes
• Alexander and The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Day, by Judith Viorst
• Grounding for the Metaphysics or Morals: With on a Supposed Right to Lie Because of Philanthropic Concerns, by Immanuel Kant
• Bunnicula, by Deborah Howe

I don't actually want to read any of those books. The serious books are there, according the the Amazon genie, because I had indicated that I owned The Aeniad. The kid's books because I'd rated A Wrinkle in Time and owned Winnie-the-Pooh. Though I am a bit of an intellectual I'm not interested in slogging through the turgid texts of nineteenth-century German philosophers, and though I do like to nurture my inner child, my inner child is older than four I think! Still, it's embarrassing - because I do have both "high" and "low" interests and I think they do make for an awkward mix.

You can see what I have to live with when I'm not in Hades... An infantile,narcissistic, smartass.
