Why I Chose my Book

The second book I am reading this trimester is Airport by Aurthur Hailey.  I am on page 31 out of 440 pages.  First, I chose this book because of the topic.  I did not put the page number as the top consideration because I WANT to read this book.  The title of the book and the graphic on the cover looks simple but the summary on the flaps sounded interesting.  I looked up this book on Goodreads and Wikipedia before I checked it out to see if it would be a book I would enjoy reading.  Second, I chose this book because it was made into a movie.  In Bestsellers, our second project must be a book that was made into a movie.  I searched the book and found out it was made into the Airport series.  How do you chose your books?
