Reading many of the books often shared by on these kinds of lists by ‘famous’ people I recently started to wonder: “how does one come up with these titles?”. They are not on the top 10 of your average book shop.
- therealdrag0 9y agoDo you mean how does the reader come across these books or how does the publisher come up with the book title?
- bastijn 9y agoThe first. How does the reader discover these titles.
- zbentley 9y agoHaving read a few bios of famous people who are prolific readers, the answer seems to be usually a) read an unbelievable amount about everything, b) when you read something good, see what books other people think are similar to it in the ways you liked, and c) word of mouth.
- hello_friend 9y agoProbably has a very extensive method to discover these books. He's no ordinary man, he's smart and experienced enough he can research which books to read himself, he can't read everything, so he has to be very selective. He probably also has staff whose job is to find interesting books for him to read. Then add recommendations from friends and other people.
