For me the real issue to finding good book is that I will not think about reading them due to my current context.
To solve that I found 2 way :
- I challenge myself to read a book from each country/region on earth, often finding new themes I get passionate about.
- I start buying every book from a given editor, also leading to great discovery / extending my horizon. (There should be a startup allowing me to subscribe to an editor :) )
I read a lot of crap and try to read the good stuff in different languages. The crap is usually not as bad as I expected (compared to what is considered 'good', so it is usually quite fun anyway).
