I went to the library today, and I just picked out books that had interesting covers... I was overwhelmed with the amount of books there, and with my bad vision (I don't like to wear glasses) I could barely see the titles of the books on the higher shelves. So I ended up judging books by their covers... but I try not to do that with people.

Not all bad books have good covers, but all good books have bad covers.........

I think it's natural to judge a book by the cover, even if you don't intend to. When I walk into a bookstore and have a ton of books facing me on the New Releases section, I instantly pick up the ones whose cover draws me in. Then I read the back of it (or the flap) and see if it's interesting, which is a 50/50 thing most times. If I have time to linger around, I'll end up looking at some with "less impressive" covers (in my opinion) and some of them sound really good. Most times when I go into a bookstore, I don't have an idea what most books are about (unless there's been a lot of hype, internet ads, or word of mouth). You've gotta start somewhere, and I think a book's cover is a good start, even if it's not really "fair."

At times, I do. "A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words", Is It Not? Just kidding. Sometimes I find that the picture on the cover of a book peaks my interest and makes me want to read at least a description of what the book is about....and then I might even check out of the library or buy it from the bookstore.

If the cover can't even grab my attention, I rarely bother to even read the back or jacket, let alone the book. I'm sure I'm missing out on some good books, though!!!

Cover does matter always but that doesn't change my mood in reading it or giving up with it. When I'm unaware of the author, I directly go with the cover's appearance.. Never do that with people and I'm glad that you don't.
