Judging a Book By it's Cover

[_Kurtis 636]

Do you ever judge an actual book by it's cover?

I admit, sometimes when I'm looking for a book I might put a book back with an unappealing cover, but not often. 

What about you?

I don't judge a book by its cover, unless I read it or in this case, I don't judge a person by their cover either.

When I am browsing a library, I try to think illogically and pick the weirdest looking book.
Unfortunately, I am now a bibliophile thanks to this technique.

Gotta admit, I wouldn't have found the edge chronicles (amazing series) and Eregon (my favorite book in the whole wide world of ever)

Usually the books I read, I read because I heard about them from somewhere else. They're either recommended, or source material for something else I read .. so I rarely pick up a book knowing nothing about it. So the covers don't really tell me anything.

I do sometimes, I always regret it as well. I put things that are actually quite good away and then come back to them later and regret not going to them sooner.

 

Examples:

 

• Equestria Girls
• I refused to watch Doctor Who after Christoper Eccleston's season ended
• I refused to watch Doctor Who after David Tennant's season's ended   

 

I finally got over the whole "I don't want a new doctor! The previous was the best!" syndrome. No clue why I was actually like that at all. I look back and think about how foolish I was. As for Equestria Girls, for some reason I just didn't regard it as something I would watch because for some reason it was like someone telling me to watch MLP:FiM all over again and I just couldn't comprehend human versions of the ponies. Was a great movie though. God I wish I didn't do things like this  . Hopefully I've learned my lesson with Equestria Girls.

I'm not sure. I think I do if I'm just browsing. If I find the cover of a book unappealing I think I'm more likely to overlook it. I usually know the book I want to get before I go to the library though so I don't really care about the cover in that case.

Even the weirdest looking book might hold the most interesting story.

I actually just read the book if I know what it's about, like in a series.

I usually don't lean towards new ideas.

I judge books by reviews of friends and the internet. Jeez, am I dependent -_-.
