How to Choose a Good Book

① Make a list answering these questions:
e.g. What genre of books do you like?
What authors do you like?
② Ask someone to recommend a good book.
③ Use the search engine in the bookstore to find a certain book.
④ Find the book and skim over the back of the book or the
inside flap.
If that holds your attention, it‘s probably a good book for you.
