Unfortunately there will be some books missing, either because of lacking data on them or lacking intersections with other books, or because they're too new. There's also a difficulty in where to draw the line as every book added can slow down querying (each query traverses a database of over ten million relationships and around 400,000 books). This is a point of improvement that I'd like to work on though.

That's interesting, I thought you'd just look for books in an opposite field - maybe with matching stylistic characteristics - then choose a highly recommended book within that parameter space.
You could ask people to provide the metadata if their book/author isn't present.
It would be great to see a summary of the book when you click on it!
