After giving the waiter, Rosalio, my order I glance to my left to see Sandy reading over a cup of coffee. She was reading Bill Bryson's non-fiction work "A Short History of Nearly Everything". Sandy just started reading it but it's about the history of the Earth in a nutshell. It has science elements to it however its very storylike and an easy read.
Sandy loves reading non-fiction but also enjoys fiction, namely the classics. Growing up she was a big fan of Fahrenheit 451 because she could relate to the themes in the book and she says that it just felt right and pefect for her at the time. Since then she's read the book multiple times but hasn't read it in a year. She's considering picking it up again soon.
She tries not to recommend books to people because everyone has different tastes and she'd rather not impose certain books on her friends lest they dislike it. However, if she were to pick a book to recommend to people it would be Fahrenheit 451.
The last book she's read was It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, a book about a guy going through a teenage crisis. She had never really heard anything about the book, just picked it up at the bookstore because it had a cool cover. "Talk about judging a book by it's cover!" And when I finally looked up the cover I probably would've done the same thing! It's so colourful...Once the interview was over my brownie arrived. Perfect timing! And you know what else was perfect? The layer of hot fudge swimming on top!
Have you ever picked up a book solely based on its cover?
Are you particular about the cover of your book when there are multiple editions/different artwork?
