I tend to buy books based on the cover, whether it resonates with me or not.
So far never gone wrong with that. |

Most of the books I've read were hardcover without jackets.
When I belonged to the Science Fiction Book Club I bought books based on authors mainly. When I converted to electronic format I reaquired the works I liked best and supplemented with more from the same author. Many of the short stories I like have no cover art. Recently I've been grabbing audio books. On youtube the cover art sometimes shows on the video but I don't 'watch the video' I listen to it. The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_gqOk5A7T4 THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS - FULL AudioBook (by Kenneth Grahame) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU3L62OomvQ Jack Reacher Series Worth Dying For Audiobook By Lee Child http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2vFQR5o_s |

When I look at book covers of a man and woman kissing or hugging, I figure it's a love story or romance. I avoid those kinds of books. Not my thing.

The title of a book can get my interest.

I like sci fi /war fare/ vengeance. some series I have read mack bolan is kinda like the punisher. battle tech, loosely based on the robotech lay out based after the fall of the star league. hammers slammer, futuristic mercenaries, hired as military support. when a planetary government, needs things settled fast. BOLO's self aware (or semi self aware, depending on what part of their history the story takes place in) super tanks. jungle tracks: semi fiction, based on viet nam era tank war fare. I need books that have a lot of action, to hold my attention. long drawn out dialog puts me to sleep. star wars books on tape are great for that. ;-) LOL |
