Well I base my decisions on authors I've read before, my mood, do I want non-fiction or fiction...junk or classic literature?
For unknown authors I base it on back cover blurbs or the recommendation of some one who knows my tastes
But, I have picked random novels off of Pixel of Ink and been very happy with my choices.
I am a fast reader...because, well, I have always been. I cannot whip through something like Anna Karenina...but a romance probably in a say and a half...
