There’s a fine new book-browsing and -recommendation site called Shepherd, currently in its beta phase. The idea behind the site is that authors are invited to pick any subject they want, then recommend five of their favorite books that deal with that subject. The subjects can be extremely specific, and they random-walk all over the map, which is what makes the site so much fun to browse—and so reminiscent of getting those out-of-the-blue but perfect book recommendations from friends. I contributed a list of titles about exploring the galaxy, and you can check it out here.
