How do you get hooked to a book? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I will read just about anything, I usually try not to judge a book until I am finished. I do like certain types though. If I go to the library and go to the Sci-fi/fantasy section, I know that I can read just about anything there. Name brands also help. I am more likely to pick up a book by Tolkien or a star trek book than another just because I am more familiar with them. Once I get started I do read more quickly if there is, like has already been mentioned, a sence of depth and some action, not violence or anything, but I am not likly going to enjoy 50 pages of 2 people sitting around at a table talking about whatever.
