Ask HN: How do you find a new book to read?

2 points by jairuhme 1y ago ↗ HN

Not really interested in the book I am reading, don't know what to read instead. So, how do you all find new books to read? Feel free to suggest a book as well!

Recommendations from people I follow on Twitter. Interviews from people on traditional TV promoting their book. Also, I can't count how many times from just strolling through the local library I've picked up a book which has caught my eye, borrowed it and thorougly enjoyed the book.

I go to the library and browse the shelves.

Well what sort of thing do you want to read?

Go to the library and have a look

Stroll through a bookstore or library, and grab random books for different shelves

When in doubt, go with classics, "best books of all time", Nebula Award nominees, etc.
