Re: How do you choose books?
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Salman Rushdie
You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.
House MD
Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.
Sandy Denny
This is the wrong forum for bluffing
Paco
Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!
Calilasseia
I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Re: How do you choose books?
A good portion of the choices I make are based on what my friends have recommended.
Also, when I find an author I like, I usually read all their books.
Otherwise, if I see a book that looks interesting that has been neither recommended or is an author I recognize, I read book reviews about it first. If most of them are good, I'll buy the book.

I get bored and buy ones from my local shop.
Willy nilly.
But man either I have good luck or excellent choice selection. Have liked them all.

I rely heavily on Amazon Recommendations. I find they recommend books I really do want to read.
