I have so many that making a rational choice of which I most want to read next is impossible. By making a random choice I ensure that I'm not neglecting any part of my TBR.
So far, I haven't got a random pick that I didn't want to read. If that did happen, I've have to consider discarding, which would also reduce my TBR.
For those of us with a large TBR, I highly recommend "Pick a random book" for at least some of your next book choices.

When I attended the public library in my old town I made something similar: I said a casual number and the librarian, a friend of mine, gave me the book. I found some interesting books with that strange method.
