This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

"You can't judge a book by its cover”
I conducted a quick experiment to see if this statement was true or false.

HYPOTHESIS: After looking at a book cover, I will form an opinion about the book, which will then be blown away after reading said book.

METHOD: Pick a random book from the library, look at the cover, judge its content, read the book, review judgement.

TESTING: I walked into the local library and asked the librarian to choose a book for me. She handed me ‘The World According to Clarkson’. From this I made a judgement. I guessed it would be a pompous, arrogant, opinionated man, spouting off about nothing in particular.
I then read the book, and reviewed my judgement.

CONCLUSION: Having read the book, I can confirm you can judge a book by its cover.
