Yes… I Judge a Book by Its Cover


I have Kindle Fire and I’m back at it again surfing the free books pages to find something that might interest me. Among the hundreds of free books the choices for me are dwindled down to just a mild few.  I first get rid of all the smutty reading material. Then I cut out the overly religious stuff that just doesn’t appeal to me.  Next goes the classics (cause I have them already) and you’ll notice how little is really left.  In this day and age I still hold to the truth that you judge a book by its cover.  I tried reading various reviews, but it’s just too time consuming for me and half the time people give away the story and plot.  So I head back to the age old visual stimulation of a book cover.  Come on we all do it, let us just admit it.
“Don't listen to people telling you that getting up early is best. René Descartes is one of history's most important philosophers, but he rarely got out of bed before noon - and when he started getting up early for a new job as a private tutor, it caused him to catch pneumonia and die.”
