I have to get the run down, and then see if I like it. When I was little, I would check books out of the library, read them and then if I liked them I'd buy them for my own personal collection. I wonder what happened to all those books I had....hmm
i buy a book based on one thing or the other:
Author
Skimming thru
summary on da back or inside flaps
hearing good things about it
excellent reccomendations
i try not to read, period. exceptions include:
1. anything harry potter related
2. my computer science textbooks (i'll read them bad boys from front to back)
