Judging books by their cover.

[Daphnia]

One of my favorite things to do is to go to a book store and buy books based on their cover design.

I bought this book today for no reason other than I love the photo on the cover:


Discuss first impressions.

If I see someone at school wearing cat ears I will not go anywhere near them.

Whenever I go to CD Warehouse, if I'm not looking for anything in particular, I'll buy something based just on what the sticker/cover art is.

This has led to me getting a lot of early, early terrible first person flying/shooter games but also some true masterpieces (eg. Metal Storm, Actraiser 2, Bangai O)

And whenever I want something like food at school, I always ask a negro lady. They may crack jokes about whitey 24/7, but they're often some of the most generous people in the world.

Yes, I judge books by covers too, and have put off reading some books for months because I hate the cover. I also always make sure I buy the edition of a book with the best cover

I do that for books at the library. I won't even consider it if it has a bad cover.

that's the only reason i read books.
i go to the liberry.
and look at the covers.
and if the cover is uninteresting and boring.
i don't read the book/

i go to the liberry

ok i'm sorry but i had to point this out
please tell me that was a joke :'(

Anyway, I never buy something simply based on how it looks. I always do research before purchasing a game or something.

If they are female, I will be afraid to talk to them. If they are male, I automatically assume they are either a moron, a jackass, a jock, or perhaps a combination of the three.

If I read books based on their covers, I probably never would have gotten around to this:




Maybe I would have assumed Holden was gay. Or just that the book is really boring. But it's my favorite book ever.

Yeah I do it all the time, seems to work out fine for me.

I have that book sitting on my desk right now.
i loved it
and my teacher probably hates me for not handing it back in yet

[Skylark]

I like the covers for J.D Salinger books
but I really prefer Franny and Zooey to Catcher in the Rye
Not to say that Catcher in the Rye isn't amazing, it really is.

I also thought of my favorite book which is the Fountainhead and the cover of my copy is very plain

I can't really think of anything else.

This is why I got the one with the other cover:



It doesn't really have anything to do with the book, but at least it looks cool.
