How to go into a library and randomly select a book, then borrow it out and read it.
It made me 
"I worked as a lifeguard all summer, so I picked out a LOT of random books - I liked about 80% of them, and if I didn't, there was always still something to think about! "
How I did it: I went to the library and had to renew my card, but that wasn't too difficult! From there I'd just browse and select the titles and artwork I liked - more often than not, I'd find 5 or 6 random books that I wanted to read!
People doing this are also doing these things:

I picked a book called Cuba 15, and it is about a Spanish girl’s 15 birthday, and the complications this age brings; amazing book<3

I do this all the time – means you get an eclectic mix but also with small children that whole brwosing thing just does not happen!
I've always wanted to do this..

just to see what I end up with. I guess what kept stopping me was the fear that I’d get a book I didn’t want.
But next visit, to the library, I’m just picking out any book.

I finished the book Too Busy Not to Pray. It was really good. I realized that I have done this many times before but I wanted to add it to my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. So that is why I added it to my goal list. When I return the book to the library I will check out another book I have never heard of.

For years this was the only way I chose books. It can lead you to the most amazing stories that you wouldn’t have found otherwise.

..one of my teachers would always come in and load up on books, then she would pick a random book from the paperbacks. I asked her why she does that and she’s like, “Why not?”
I don’t usually do this because I don’t want to be stuck with a book I won’t like, but I’ll try it a few times.
I do this quite often now -

In fact, most of the books I’ve gotten recently have been randomly picked off the shelves.
The best book I found this way was “I Capture The Castle”, by Dodie Smith. The cover just caught my eye, and when I saw that JK Rowling had recommended it I had to get it! I actually had to get it twice before I got around to reading it though.
To me, a library or a bookshop is an Aladdin’s cave of wonders – countless stories and worlds waiting to be discovered, and this is the best way to discover them!
