Ahem!

How do u pick out the books that u want to read?
Does it follow any rhyme or reason? When it so happens that you finish all the books on your nightstand (and I know most of us have several books there at a time ) what motivates your next selection?

depends what type of book it is... if its a novel ( since i am not big on books) i will probably ask the nerdy group how it is or read the back of it ..... but some books i will go with the author background or the title ... there is this book "What they don't teach at the Harvard Business School" .. this title tells me enough to go for this book ... may be some day i will get the book from baba and read it ( hope so at least)

btw ovi nice thread

first, author...if it's by Humayun/Somoresh M/Sunil/Shorot and i haven't read it at all or recently, then i won't care about the title...if it's by someone else that i know, then i'll look at the title and summary...
