I have a character who could fit that role. I should write more.

If i search for funny am i gonna get garbage like joke books and memoirs from comedians or am I gonna get "lamb gospel" and "John dies"?

Cuz seriously, I'm sick of trying to find hilarious books with no real help other than one cracked.com article
WhichbookHQ80
Hi. No joke books or memoirs on Whichbook. Set the slider to funny and check out the results. Hope you find something you fancy.
eruval82
I looked thru the book lost and did find John dies at the end so I'll give a chance when I have some time. The lost of books needs to grow
eruval82
maybe crowdsource more profiles of more books? like... an app that lets you review and profile books you've read, then compile that data.

Thanks for replying BTW. This may serve me well in choosing my next audio book. i hope you can expand to cover more books. maybe 1/2

I wonder what books these 4 suggest: "Lots of sex", "Unusual", "Disgusting", "Violent"...... Oh..

How is there not a book about Captain Jack Harkness? He'll sleep with anything that moves, and if it doesn't move they work something out.

But you might also get a kick out of Ready Player One. It's a dystopian science fiction hero story, and a really solid book.

I was thinkingCaptain Jack Harkness. I mean technically he is human, or was at one point, but it fits.
WoTLert
He's not retired.
callmeLadyMoose
He isn't, but I would argue that the Curator is. ;-)
WoTLert
Retired from the-doctoring, yes. :) Not retired from being awesome.
callmeLadyMoose
I don't think the Doctor could ever retire from being awesome. The Whovians would riot and hunt down Moffat.
WoTLert
Moffat is just the latest in a long line-up of showrunners. The Doctor has survived them all, he'll survive Moff.. That said, I like Moff.

Conrad Nomikos from This Immortal by Zelazny is also close... perhaps someone in a Delany novel, Dhalgren's got some of that covered ;)
FrostFox22
Love the Amber series by Zelanzy
orangeorangutan
Yeah its awesome... similar main character in This Immortal, omnipotent. But a farrrrr shorter read, very fun though.
FrostFox22
Pfft. Short reads...I've read through Wheel of Time twice in its entirety. Amber series 3 times.

Not trying to sound arrogant but I mostly enjoy books that are set in reality.

Unless you're reading non-fiction, they're not set in reality.

But not your reality right?

Depending. I really enjoy reading stories about my line of work as an inspiration. Could be my reality in one way or another.

Hullo all. Can confirm Zaphod is definitely bisexual !

What are you talking about? The universe is mentioned and surely that contains bisexuals.

Is Zaphod over 76? Maybe Slartibartfast?

I think Ford is over 100 and that they are relatively close in age.

after a few gargle blasters I'm pretty sure he wouldn't care too much, he seemed pretty froody

figgin netflix tells me that titles similar to "Calvary" are half their own shit! Showing your bias, much?
HackerJacker
It doesn't recommend based on you history, it filters based on things you input, very different techs.

Netflix suggestions serve a useful purpose. They make me give up on finding a good movie and I settle faster.

".. because you liked violent gory foreign-language suspense stories from South Korea with a shocking plot twist - "
Barleezy
Netflix actively trolls me. It predicts I'll give a show/movie 1.5 stars, then puts it in my Top Picks For Barleezy queue. Assholes.
Lugh314159
Do you actively watch movies that you regularly give 1.5 stars too? Maybe it just knows you enjoy being disappointed with your choices.

Charleygrl
So? Whats stopping you from putting in your two cents? make reviews and request books to be added to the list if you can't find any!
Fishticuffs
Certainly nothing is stopping anybody from doing that, but the issue is ease of use. The site is much less convenient for male readers.
RIPBillHicks
Woman generally read a lot more for some reason, so it's kinda understandable
Fishticuffs
I think it has to do with upbringing. Boys are encouraged to read less than girls are. This carries over into adulthood. The fact that...
Fishticuffs
(last) ...seek out books for fun, while boys start reading to support subjects that interest them.
Fishticuffs
...biology and history are dominated by male readers while fiction is dominated by female readers also seems to support this. Girls...
