Usually when I want something to read, I go to the library and wander around until I find something that looks interesting. Or until I get bored of wandering around and just grab whatever is closest at the time.
I do accept recommendations though, and if people give me books I'll always read them.
To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books?

Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template

Forgive me my sins but most of my reading for the last year has been comics.
