1) Pick books from genres you like

How to choose the right book to read — *Pick books from genres you like*

You will never go wrong by picking up books from genres that you like. You will enjoy it. For example, I want to read fiction books from Mr. Arthur C. Clarke.

What is the meaning of book genres?

There are so many kinds of book genres out there on the planet. “genres you like” means it can be attached to your passion or your lifestyle or any the way it’s a part of your life.

I will put examples for genres of books

Action and adventure
Classic
Comic book
Detective or mystery
Horror
Romance

2) Check out reviews to choose the right book to read

Don’t forget to check the reviews of your book that you are going to buy. Reviews help you a lot to understand the quality of the book and whether readers enjoy the book or not.

How many stars should I consider?

I suggest you check at least 3-star reviews. And read the comments as well if most comments are good, then excellent. Rarely it can be bad reviews because people’s thinking pattern is not the same.

I strongly advise you to don’t pick up a book that has less than a 3-stars review.

3) Join reader communities

This is a perfect way to understand the background of a book. There are a lot of online communities discussing only books. Then go and ask the readers about the book that you are going to pick.

Most of the time, there are group members who have read that book, and indeed, they will tell about that book with their experiences.

As an example, you can join a Facebook group. Even you can find a lot of forums on the internet. Just get advantage from them. Another right way if you have a friend that reads that book already, go and ask.

They will tell precisely how is that book. But there is a problem, as I mention above, people are different, so it’s better to ask from at least two or three people.

4) Read about the author

This is the next step to choose the right book to read that you are loving, read something about the author. Look at written books by him. Just google it, and you can find some complete articles.

5) Check out book summaries to choose the right book to read

The next step is to choose the right book to read, check out the book summaries. If you like the summary, pick the book. If you don’t like to summery, don’t choose it.

Is it working for every book?

Actually, it is not working for every book. If you like to read a fiction book, a can’t measure the quality of the book, just looking at the summary. So understanding the summery can recommend other books.

Then how to choose fiction books?

So, in this case, we have to use common sense too. Because a lot of fiction books have written by very famous authors and scientists, so you can find a lot of reviews in fiction book genres.

But there is another way to understand fiction books is good or not that you are going to buy. Let’s know it from step number six.
