I "found" Margaret Atwood that way, and well as some other fantastic (and some not-so-fantastic) reads.

I do (or did in the past anyway) pick up books in bookstores because of their cover, but I checked the back cover and read a few lines before buying them. And that goes for French books only. U.S. book covers are much too ugly, I prefer to ignore them
