The Interwebs will steal his books’ soooooooooouls!!!

My favorite part:

I asked a bookseller in New York to recommend a brilliant but unheralded book, and he went through his shelves and picked out several, none of which I had ever heard of. “Her Privates We” was one of them. The Hemingway blurb sold me. No digital anything can do that.

Yes, Amazon’s tried for years and years to come up with a way to recommend books based on certain criteria, but have failed utterly and miserably.
