Where Do You Get Reading Suggestions?

[kellychaos]

How does everyone get their reading suggestions? I'm talking about published, hardcopy fiction or non-fiction not online sources or periodicals.

1) Suggestions from friends, instructors, co-workers, ect.

2) Published and/or online reading lists.

3) Suggestions from radio and TV programs.

4) Suggestions of librarians or book store staff.

5) Suggestions and/or source citing within previously read material.

6) Trial and error in book stores, librairies and various other media sources.

1, 5, 6, and newspaper/magazine reviews.

Mostly 5.

Usually "amateur journalist" sites about the type of reading. For example, a lot of my comic suggestions come from the Quarter Bin.

What if you have stupid friends? ... just kidding ... or AM I :eek ... what does that say about me. :/

I think that I lean towards 1, 5, and six also.

Friends are very helpful, and Amazon.com can be as well. When I was searching for Vonnegut I was introduced to the one and only Charles Bukowski! That was awesome.
