Interesting question.
These days, I tend to be fairly selective in my reading, and stick with authors I know I like - simply because I have far more books to read than I have time to read them in.
The main exception to that is the Baen "Webscriptions" stuff, where I buy everything they publish. I've discovered a lot of authors I wouldn't have otherwise come across that way.
I don't personally use reviews to select books, because, as I said above, I have no way of knowing whether the reviewer's tastes have anything in common with mine.
