Thanks for your valuable contribution.

You have some sense of whatever you're feeling at the moment, and what would lead you to pick up "To the Lighthouse" is not the same impulse that would lead you to pick up "Oscar Wao." Just read whatever you're feeling, and if you chose wrong, just read to the end of the book and choose again.

Start with the greeks.

Keep up with the brits.

Then go for the krauts.

And then realize there is none.

This is very reasonable. I'm going to mark your response under intuition/yolo.

Find an aspect about a book that relates to your life. Example, I read The Great Gatsby the other day because the author and I were born in St. Paul, and it was assigned reading in school when I was in another state; I glossed over TGG then but wanted to return after learning Fitzgerald's birthplace.

I give myself a raging erection, close my eyes, spin around, and wherever my member falls is the next one I pick. This is with physical books by the way. But if you're just choosing off the top of your head, then I masturbate furiously and then go with whatever I feel like after that.

I usually just decide what I want to read during the last few days of reading the book I read before it

But I'm a gril

read the princess of cleves

a. make those into a list, not a big jumble
b. idk I have bigger lists and then smaller lists for the year/books I intend to read during a certain season that I add/delete from
if I'm not feeling something between 1 and 30ish pages in I drop it

They're just separated by commas because I might just paste the list into this random result generator once I finish what I'm reading now.
