A lot of interesting titles floating around in this thread!

How do you guys choose your next book or Where do you find out those books which peak in the 'interestingness' factor?

Especially, those which are non-technical,fiction, pseudo-fiction etc..

I spend a couple hours once or twice a month in a used book store. I browse the history, fiction, classics, science/math sections and look for titles that align with what I've been thinking about lately. I also have a mental list of authors that I will buy on sight.
Same here but s/used book store/amazon/.
I like the browsing atmosphere of the small bookstore. Also I find it hard to get past all the titles that are currently being hyped if I go to amazon. I read more old books than I do new ones. But if I have a title in mind that I want to buy right away, amazon is my first stop
