It depends. I have a to be read list. Generally, I'll scan through that and mark four or five books that look like something that I'm in the mood for, then start reading the first. If that doesn't grab my interest, I try the next.
A lot depends on my mood. I generally have a lot of different types of books in my to be read list. Sometimes if I'm in the mood for a particular type of book and it's not in my to be read list, I'll scan through my digital library to find one that matches my mood.
Also, if there is a new book by a favored author or a book that is recommended to me, that jumps to the front of the list.
I'm still looking for the perfect ebook library tool to facility how I like to decide on the next book. In a perfect world, I would have something like Calibre/Marvin with Apple's manually sortable lists.
