This repository contains a book recommender system, using the data made available by Goodreads. Goodreads is an American social cataloging website that allows individuals to search freely its database of books, annotations, quotes, and reviews. Users can sign up and register books to generate library catalogs and reading lists. I have used Item-Based Collabrative filtering technique to built recommendation system.
