> there are an infinite amount of books that you'd like to read

if i want to read them all, I don't need help choosing. any book is one I want to read!

if I don't want to read them, I already have opinions. I should just pick one that I do want to read.

and I don't have opinions I can just ask someone for a recommendation.

big libraries existed before algorithmic recommendations, and people managed.
