What are your "rules for reading" and do you judge a book by its cover?

- Latest Review: Pastoring is not what you think by Elijah Oladimeji
For example, I remember seeing a book with a row of chairs on the cover, one chair was a different color than the others so your eyes were drawn to that. I remember thinking, "Ok, so a fish out of water or oddball protagonist story."
What was the book you ask?
Pride and Prejudice!
Yes, a classic Regency era novel had a cover with modern chairs you would see in high school classrooms!
Since then I tend to just open to a page at random and skim it; too many grammatical errors and it goes back on the shelf no matter what.
