a few more for my list

[Merle]

I didn't start with a list so I keep remembering books I have read and forgetten to include, so:
28. Cat's Eye - Margeret Atwood
29. Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
And some new ones:
30. Go Tell it on the Mountain - James Baldwin
31. Timbuktu - Paul Auster

A couple weeks ago I switched from random library searches to alphabethical searches. So I started with the A's, looking for interesting books and authors. I still look for recommendations I get from this site and from the New York Times etc.
How do you choose books?
