[OPLINLIST] "Read-alikes"

[Bobbi Galvin]

Hi!
The OPLIN staff (well, mostly Karl) has been tweaking
about:books <http://aboutbooks.info> for about the last 
year and we think this would be a great place for you 
to not only find read-alikes, but ANYTHNG about books 
and authors.

I did the following search:
+"read-a like" +"mary higgins clark"

The top few results are BOOK results.  Below that are 
several links to web pages that give you just what you 
asked for.  No need to re-invent the wheel, the work is 
  already done for you, compliments of another 
hard-working librarian.  :-)

As for Mary Higgins Clark, I found this really cool page:
http://www.mayolibrary.ie/en/ReaderZone/IfYouLikeTry/AdventureThriller/

How easy would those be to copy and put on a bookmark 
or a web page?!

I hope that helps!
