(quite a dangerous combination).
I have always enjoyed reading, but I’ve never been sure how to select appropriate material.
There are so many books in the world—how do you tell them all apart?
How do you know which one will match your tastes and interests?
That’s why I just pick the first book I see. There’s no point in trying to choose.
The covers are of very little help, because they always say only good things,
and I’ve found out to my cost that they’re rarely accurate. “Exhilarating” “Dazzling” “Hilarious.” No.
The only criterion I have is that the books must look clean,
which means that I have to disregard a lot of potential reading material in the charity shop.
I don’t use the library for the same reason, although obviously, in principle and reality,
libraries are life-enhancing palaces of wonder.
It’s not you, libraries, it’s me, as the popular saying goes.
