direct marketing........

ok, so over the holidays my eldest used our pc to order his textbooks......and now when i visit my usual book-buying sites......they only want to sell me more textbooks.......and not the fiction is usually purchase.....the last order had transformed the personalized screen.......and i am not so sure how to reclaim the 'settings' i have lost...like being rpesented with books i might want to read on screen is any different than the library having shelves labeled staff picks.......but i have little or no interest in a biology textbook....or a creative writing primer......and so i must regain my turf, so to speak....and hold onto it until the beginning of the next school year...when 2 sons will be ordering textbooks....hmmmm that oculd be tricky.....princeton is probably savvy when it comes to e-commerce.....that may play tricksey with regards to text selection.......but then i may just want to read their red-herring picks.........
