How To Choose The Right Book



When you need to find the right book, you need to find out who you are, what you wan't to read and what ''language'' the book is speaking.

It can be hard to find the right book, because the outside can cheat you and so can the text on the back of the book.

Here's a good guide to find the right book:



1. Take a look inside the book.
The outside can cheat, so take a look inside the book in the start, the middle and a little bit in the last pages. That will make it easier to see what the book is really about. And to read the book anyway.



2. Ask a friend/librarian.
If you have a friend ( I bet you have one, or else you don't, and thats why you are reading this) you think likes the same books or reads books as you do, then ask the person if theres any books you should read. If you don't have any friends or just don't have the same taste as them then ask the librarian, he can always help you finding the best books. You could also start a book club with some of your friends, which make me move on to number 3.



3. Start a book club.

If you have some friends or relatives who share your interests in books, then make a book club where you can share your own books and discuss your meanings and tell about the funny, sad or weird spots in the books. You don't even have to call it a book club if you think that's too geeky, just be there with your friends and talk about stuff and books.



4. Surf the internet.

If you like the internet then just type your favourite things in http://www.google.com/ and add ''book''. Forexample: Andy Warhol book or Emo Music book, whatever you might like. You can also make an adventure in blogs around the internet like http://www.galadarling.com/. Then write a list of the books you'd like to read an go to the bookstore/library and ask for them.



5. Watch TV.

What a bad advise, but it's true you find a lot of book reviews there. Especially in talkshows.



6. Do the 5 finger test.
If you have trouble reading then use this test:
Pick a page in the middle of the book and read. If you do not know a word, put a finger down. If you end up with five fingers down, choose another book.

7. Look for books in a serie.
This is not working for me, but if you find one good book in a serie you might like the others too.
Try starting with some ''light'' books with not so many pages instead of starting out with Harry Potter.

I Really hope my advises was useful, i will make more later.
