How do you choose your books to read?

My wife and I just finished our 94th shared book to read to each other. We take turns, and this allows each of us access to the other's view of what is an interesting read. It's worked out great (with one exception where we couldn't finish the book The Masks of Africa).

NPR has great interviews with authors, so that's one source, and our life experiences are another that gravitate us to different subjects.

    That's awesome. How long have you been married?

    If you're looking for a new book, you might try making a Goodreads account. You check off books you've read, rate them, and it makes recommendations for you.

    I typically browse by genre, looking at titles and covers. If one- or none do - then I read the synopsis. If I like the synopsis, then I read a sample. If it hooks me right away it's a keeper, if not, I walk away.
