Question of the day: what gets you excited about picking up a book? #QotD
For me, it is all down to my current or perceived level of enjoyment (or importance of topic where enjoyment is not the reason I am reading that particular book). If it sounds like something I would enjoy (or is something I want to learn about), I want to dive in. If I am partway through and care about the characters/situations, I want to see how things play out.
