You'd really not like this 'Snow', it's real proper sci-fi so you wouldn't have even picked it up! lol Larry: that has usually been my method, and I'm going right back to it! Funnily enough that's usually how I pick wine too, funky label? Tongue in cheek name? Bought! :) Stef: I have the 'Girl' books to read, haven't got round to it just yet. In some ways it's easier to pick books now that I'm not in a bookshop environment. When you work with 60-80 other people who love books as much as you do, but who all have wildly differing tastes, it can be hard to keep up with all their 'you really must read' conversations! Haven't heard of this man Scalzi, will look into him. Kate: Na, don’t think that’s the one. You’d really not like this ‘Snow’, it’s real proper sci-fi so you wouldn’t have even picked it up! lol

Interesting picture/illustration/design? Interesting author's name? Go for it! It's as effective as going by recommendation or reviews, in my experience. Last time I picked up something someone said was good, I bought a pile of books by George RR Martin and only read one. Boooooriiiiiing. Don't make my mistake - judge a book by its cover! :D You should try my patented book selection method – pick using only what’s on the front cover as a guide. Interesting picture/illustration/design?
