Oh yes, she did!
Choosing and Reading
How do we end up
with this or that
book in our hands?
Seven steps to the book that “could be”Seven steps to the book that “could be”
Friends, family, teachers, media, topics, authors, 
popular choice, readers' pick…
● Really,
all that
trouble?
After a number of years reading, we might know such things as
a group of Authors, Genres or Topics that seem to be right call.
Sometimes, we got addressed by someone, or by life itself, to those
fields of interest
So, if I am into 
Mistery
or Social Sciences
...I read about that
Asking friends, family and peers about their last book, a
recommendation...
So, if I like this
kid, admire that
relative, or try
to kiss up… 
This or that easy reader that happens to be named the new best-
seller, or the most shocking thriller in history or even, who
knows, the "forbidden" book of the week...
So… 
Nah! Just Kiddin'
Best­sellers, sometimes, you 
know...
Good luck out there ;-)
Book Covers? Really?
● Simple
● Scientific
● Adventorous
● Glamorous
● Intriguing
… you name it ...
Never judge a book by its cover?
Or something like that…
Design seems to be
important, relevant if
you wish, but never
crucial…
… RIGHT?
Summing upSumming up
1. Listen to those around you… and viceversa.
2. Make sensible use of media in general.
3. Popular choices and best-sellers… you know.
4. Follow your taste in terms of topics, authors...
5. See that all the aspects of a book, including layout, printing,
lettering, cover... seem to suggest a good choice.
6. Follow a logical path in terms of age, sequence and so.
7.But, most of all, dare to read everything that falls near
yourself. If you are mistaken… try again. A book, even one
you don't wish to read to the end, cannot be a mistake!
