    Book Roulette is a Chrome Extension that shows you a new, hopefully interesting, book each time you open a tab. It also shows you a few recent articles from around the web that mention the book.

    There are a few other Chrome extensions out there that do this. 100 Million Books, for instance, is very nice. The reason I don't care for it is the books are completely random, and often super esoteric.

    Book Roulette uses the backed from the book recommendation engine The Hawaii Project which scans over a thousand book review websites to see what people are talking about. Book Roulette pulls from the more popular books on a given day so the results are likely to be topical some way.

    Enjoy! (It's free, but the Amazon and Bookshop links are wired to my affiliate account so if you buy I do get a commission).
