How do I pick books to read. I mean, there are lots of books out there, so how do I know which one I will pick up and read. First, I usually go for an Author that I have enjoyed or a book that was recommended by someone whom I trust on these matters. But, sometimes I just like to pick something up off the shelves. Below is my criteria for doing so.
1. Go to the sci-fi section
2. Wade through fantasy books to the few actual sci fi books
3. Sift out titles with really bad titles.* (if you can't write a title, you can't write a book)
4. Look for one of the following on the cover. a)Guy with big futuristic gun b)really good looking girl (in peril is a bonus) c) a cool looking spaceship/space station/planet d)an alien city.
*title can be overlooked if the cover art is contains two or more of step 4.
Use this method for more enjoyable reading!
