Let's say off a bit on the dark side and stay in between, yeah?
Today, I'm here to give you the guide I first shared with my friends on how to choose a book!
-Stronger language properly censored-
HOW TO CHOOSE GOOD BOOKS, a guide by your best friend who reads too much:
1. Choose a genre/theme in fiction. What interests you, what would you sit down for more than an hour to read?
2. Always look it up on the Internet after you do Step 1. Go to Amazon; they usually have genuine classifications about what you'd want to read.
3. Look through those categories and read their summaries. What caught your eye, what looks good (I judge by the cover and title as well)?
4. Found a book? Great! Check and see if you can get it at the public library. It's usually there.
5. Place a hold on it.
6. Wait.
7. Pick up and READ!
IF YOU'RE ALREADY AT THE LIBRARY AND YOU JUST NEED MORE BOOKS, suggestions from your best friend who legit shouldn't be doing this but is:
-First place you go is the New Books section. Look at titles, covers, and take into account the summaries. Again, what caught your eye?
-Want more books? You overachiever! Go into the Young Adult section. Visit that place and do the same thing you did in the New Books section.
-Ready for the super mature books? Venture into the ADULT SECTION, where the stories and much more dramatized or real! Fill your mind with SCANDALOUS secrets, DIRTY actions, and honestly, that's all you can really get from the Adult Section.Simple, nothing much to it. You can't say you're lazy because you really can't be if you're at the library!
Judging by the cover is fine, I do that too, but don't just go by what aesthetically pleases you. Notice I said "don't just," meaning you can do it too but TAKE THE GODD*MN SUMMARIES INTO ACCOUNT. You start to complain that you didn't like the book? Oh well, f**k you because you never read the SUMMARY.
There's a way easier way on how to choose books: ask around. Most likely you'll like what your friend likes, (one) because you're obliged to, (two) because you have a similar taste of books, (three) because you seriously don't know.
BOOM and that's how to choose a book, by me :D
