I don't (or only very rarely; I don't remember the last one I read) read book reviews. But sometimes there are articles in the NY Times (for example) that talk about nonfiction books or reference those books. If the book sounds interesting, I'll see if the library has it and send in a request. That's how I read (and enjoyed) "Bounce" by Matthew Syed recently. And is how I've read most nonfiction for the past several years.

I don't recall using a similar approach for fiction, though. Not from newspapers, anyway.
