Amazon amazes

So I went online to buy some cd's from Ray LaMontagne - if you're not familiar with his music then youtube him. Just something about his music moves me.

Anyway - so I checkout, pay and Amazon provides me with a thank you screen and "other customers who made this purchase also like...." and the recommendations are:

1. Outlander - a book I want to read
2. This I know Is True - a book I've read and loved
3. Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies - I'm currently reading her book "Unaccustomed Earth"

So you tell me - does Amazon got this data mining thing down to a science or what. They really do know what I like - hahaha.
