You love reading，but you've read all your books four times，and are tired of reading the same ones．You're planning to go to the library，but don't know what kind of books to get．With the right knowledge，it's easy to choose a good book!

Answer these questions first．What authors do you like？Research books by the authors you've enjoyed，and you can get more of the same type of books．What are your interests？Type your hobbies into your library catalog search．By doing this，you will find books that you might like．Is there a type of book you would like to try？If there is，search the book and read the summary．This will help you decide if the book is right for you．

Search your house next．

Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house．Maybe you forget about one，or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books．Also by searching your house，you can find some books that you can read，and they won't even cost you any money．

Then，ask someone to recommend a good book．You can ask your older brother or sister，your mom，your dad，your best friend，or even your English teacher．Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations．And when they get to know you，it's even better! You should ask people who like the same type of books，so that you can get books that match your need．

Join a book club，please．Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members．Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you，and you can read books that others have read and discuss them．

Finally，read the first part of each book．Of course，if you have many books，this can be time﹣consuming．Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like，and you won't have a hard time looking for books again．
