Oye Dhar.. how do you decide to read new books? Main to keval 'story books' padhta hoon.. normally I stick to authors jo ki logon ne recommend kiye hote hain.. What do you do?
Non Sci-fi & Fantasy books I usually pick up only if some friend strongly recommends it. Picked up Hundred Years of Solitude this way.
Lots of books I pick up if I see lot of good bloggers recommending it. Picked up Getting Things Done this way.
Others (Sci-Fi & Fantasy) I pick up based on:
Area 51
IBList
or other such rating sites.
I have stopped picking up books randomly at the book store and repenting later.
Cheers,
D.

is it really useful?
Care to post a brief note about the books you read? At least, I would be in position to wave off, nonchalantly (occasionally!), and say, "Oh that one, read it .. it's about so and so.. didn't like it much, though" :)
