I'm a lot more selective these days. Since time is valuable, it's worth doing a little research on the book before I begin.

The book gets added to my to-read list if:

* it has received a a good recommendation from someone I respect

* the author has a good interview on a program such as KQED's Forum or NPR's To the Best of Our Knowledge

* has generally good reviews on amazon.com

The more criteria it matches, the higher it sits in my list.
