I can already tell you- You read better books than me. Every once and a while, I'll take Grace and I over to chapters and peruse the shelves. I like to check out authors I love and see whats new. But should there be nothing new or nothing that appeals to me, I start randomly, anywhere in chapters and pull out books that's titles catch my eye. This is reason #1 I know you choose better books than me. You can never find a good book based solely on its title--TRUST ME.
Secondly- You know that old saying "don't judge a book by its cover? I do. I can't help it. Its a sickness. I am immediately attracted to bright color. Bright pink? yup. Turquoisy Blue, all over that. Yellow with Plaid letters- Sigh. Cartoon cover, well, lets just say, your going in my cart.
Its sad really. Needless to say, I'm not reading books that are gonna change my life. I mean, honestly, I can, and every once in a while, I do. But I would really rather prefer a book that's funny. Easy. Comfortable. And Its not to say you cant find something in those books that means something to me or that can stick with me for a life time. But I'm not going to join a book club any time soon. And there is only a small hand full of people I'd actually pass along my books to. Books, to me, are like movies, Never recommend one- you never know who you'll offend or who'll criticize.
But yes, I do judge books by there cover- first and foremost. And I can honestly say, in this life I really don't know much about anything, but I can tell you this- You probably read better books than me..
"'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read."
