I love my ereader but I miss the days when you could actually see what someone was reading. It was like a book recommending a person

Someone reading a book doesn't mean the book is good.

I have a book written by a mentally ill person I met, just because I wanted to have more insight into his mental state.

"good" book is highly subjective. It depends not only on your tastes but also on your general mood while reading it. Same for film and art. I saw the Mona Lisa in person and was completely unimpressed.
