Avid Naked Readers
For those who love to read, either old fashioned paper books ( and my preferred way) or the new fangled ebooks. There was a book reading nudist group at one time but i have not found any trace of it. So this will fill the void.

How do you decide what to read next?
Return to DiscussionsHow do you go about picking your next book to read? Do you always know which one is next? I always have to have a book going. So when I am done with one, I need another one to pick up. Sometimes that is the middle of the night, and I know I will only fall asleep if I am reading. So I grab another one and start in. There are about 10ft of shelf space beside my bed with the " to be read" books on them loosely arranged by genre.
Sometimes I know a recent purchase will be the next, sometimes I poke thru the shelves for 10 minutes trying to pick one.
What method do you use?
On a related note, by listening to public radio and reading the local paper and a weekly news magazine ( The WeeK) I hear or read book reviews of new books. Once in a great while I am exposed to one that will i buy new, in store or online because it sounds like a must read.. But most of the i time can waituntil i find it used. I do need to do a better job of keeping track of those books that sound like a good read. A paper list in my wallet or maybe figure out how to put a list on my phone.
So share your how you read thoughts please, We might learn something from each other.
Since I have downsized my belongings, the next book is most likely to come from the library (although I do own some that I have not yet read). So the way I decide is to browse around the library shelves and see which ones speak to me. I usually check out three per visit, knowing that is a number I can likely finish without using up my renewals.
