I bought the reading journal. Unfortunately, despite all the lovely things about the journal, such as the paper quality and design, Papier includes their own reading recommendations in the back. This is a dealbreaker for me and I will not purchase another Papier reading journal (or likely any other Papier product since I'm so irritated). Papier using page space to push their recommendations is a trespass on a book I bought for my personal use. It's like sitting quietly in the library enjoying the beautiful prose or poetry in front of you and having a rather obtuse librarian come over and declaim the library's mediocre "staff picks." Further, most of the books on Papier's recommendation lists are firmly in the mainstream (or at least the liberal-progressive mainstream). There aren't any unique/provocative/obscure titles on the lists. There's no indication that anyone at Papier has a personality. Perhaps these recommendations were produced by an algorithm. Do I want to spend time with that algorithm's recommendations? No, I would rather have that page space to document my own reading.
