And I like both these books too. (In fact if you look at the <a href="http://www.librarything.com/unsuggester/23816" rel="nofollow">whole list</a> I own a bunch of these books, have read or read parts of several others, and have taught quite a few. Unsuggester seems to be saying that philosophers shouldn't read Marian Keyes which I find quite oppressive.)

My favourite so far: "We've noticed that customers who have purchased The Limits of Abstraction by Kit Fine have also ordered Miracles in Enlightenment England by Jane Shaw."
