Then again, I might not

The algorithms Amazon uses to alert customers to potentially intriguing purchases can sometimes yield bizarre results. Three years ago, my interest in Anthony Trollope netted me notification about a book on oil tankers and container ships (still baffling).

And today I got this email:
As someone who has purchased or rated Preaching to the Corpse: An Advice Column Mystery by Roberta Isleib, you might like to know that Pharmacotherapy for Psychologists: Prescribing and Collaborative Roles will be released on June 15, 2010.
Indeed, as mood-improvers, I suppose light humorous mysteries and pharmacotherapy have much in common!

When I was searching for a recording by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, once, Amazon's "You want fries with that?" feature suggested that I might also be interested in a book about yo-yo tricks.
