I've bought plenty of books in my life based on the name, cover or just being in the mood for a new book. Some of them I read three pages of and say, "holy moley what twaddle" and chuck it. Before e-books I even did it in book shops where I can physically read it since I have it in my hand. I know I should do that less, but it's so little money, even a book costing $10.
