How it works

From your shelf to your sky, in four moves.

No algorithms to tune, no preferences to set. You bring the books; BookSeeking does the reading-between-the-lines.

01
Add what you've read

Search a title, scan a barcode, or paste a list. No star ratings, no quizzes — just the books that left a mark on you.

02
We read each one for meaning

BookSeeking distils every book into the concepts it teaches — five to fifteen of them — each anchored to the Universal Decimal Classification, the international library taxonomy. Two books teaching the same idea collapse into one shared concept.

03
Your reading becomes a map

Those concepts, together with the people, places and eras inside them, form a constellation. The dim spaces between your stars are the things you haven't read yet.

04
We recommend what extends you

Matches aim just past what you already know — mostly familiar, a little new — and reach you through four lenses: the Atlas, the Globe, Topics and Authors.

A note on depth

Two layers of understanding.

Book level — every book

The concepts a title teaches, anchored to the library taxonomy. This is the layer that lets two books on the same idea recognise each other and find their shared readers.

Chapter level — full-text books

For books we can read in full, every chapter is mapped to the concepts it carries — so we can point you to the exact chapter that fills a gap, even when the whole book would be redundant.

The math behind the ranking — curiosity gaps, optimal challenge, reading-style fit — is where the real care lives.
