Ask HN: How do you choose your next book to read?

[lpman]

There are plenty of books to read, but it can be hard to decide which to pick. What's your strategy? I usually: - Pick something in a topic I want to read about with a high Goodreads rating. - Pick something recommended by someone I look up to

Usually simply Goodreads from the books mentioned in comments, or minor works from the author I just read
