How do you find books?
I wouldn't be surprised if this thread has been made before, but a preliminary search did not turn up anything, sorry if this has been done.
Anyways, I was just wondering how do you find the books you read? There are many, many different ways to find a book, glancing over a titles at a store, reading a review, word of mouth etc. But finding a book is different than finding a book you will read. With so many books out there, and in reality, not enough time to read them all, what prompts you to read one book over another? I have hundreds of books that I want to read, all of which interest me as much as the other, but in the end, I know I will ignore some and read others. So how do you find books?
For me I am a member of librarything almost primarily for there recommendations. Not that they are any better then other sites that recommend books based on titles you have read, just that out of the systems I have tried it has warranted the most success. Even then, a lot of the recommendations are based more so on similar subject matter than anything else and that doesn't always mean you will like it.
