You love reading, and it's a good idea to go to the library, but you don't know what kind of books to get. In the following ways, it's easy to choose(选择) a good book!
Answer these questions first. What writer do you like? Look for books by your favourite writers, and you can get more of the same type of books. What are your interests? You will find books that you might like. Is there a book you would like to try? If there is, read the summary(概括) of the book. This will help you find the right book for you.
