But you wouldn't have picked up the book to read if the subject choice didn't interest you. I don't pick up books on the biology of a dormouse in Winchester Cathedral because I am not interested in the subject matter.
If you were subject choice blind, you would, for example, simply go into a bookstore, close your eyes, let someone guide you to the nearest shelves regardless of subject matter, reach out and pick up the nearest book, buy it and read it. Is that what you do?
