So I have this tendency to literally judge a book by it's cover. Por ejemplo, I'd be attracted to this cover:
 (Okay, that makes me seem perverted, but I meant that it's a rather young adult, modern cover.) Then, we have this:  I'm reading this right now, and it's amazing. I'm totally in love with it. But if I were to see it in a bookstore, I probably wouldn't even pick it up. |

Yeah, I tend to go for books that have more attractive covers as well.
But if the title is interesting even though the cover is plain, chances are I'll pick it up anyway. By the way, I've read The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things. It's good.
