BOOK Choice
Several people were asked the question, “How do you choose a book to read?” Here are their replies.
“I judge a book by its cover. If the cover looks interesting / interested, I buy the book. Sometimes I’m lucky, and the book is good. And sometimes I’m disappointing / disappointed.”
“I always read book reviews in newspapers and magazines, and when I read about a book that sounds interesting / interested, I write it down in my diary.”
“I don’t take any risks – I always read books by authors I know. I get really exciting / excited when one of my favourite authors brings out a new book, and I buy it immediately. This way I’m never disappointing / disappointed.”
“I read the first page, and if it’s boring / bored, I don’t buy the book – if I want to turn over the page and carry on reading, I buy the book.”
“It’s easy – I never read fiction but I’m fascinating / fascinated by biographies of famous people. I find strong women in history particularly inspiring / inspired.”
“I tend to choose books written by women. Women have a better feeling for characters and the relationships between them, and that’s I find interesting / interested in a book. Having said that, I’ve just finished ‘The Beach’ by Alex Garland, and it was brilliant.”
