Not 100% blind, but I do like to just go to a section I like and randomly pick a book based on how nice the cover art looks. I don't usually buy books, so this is almost always in a library where I don't have to "pay" for a mistake. It usually works out well for fiction titles, but history and sciences are always a gamble. I've found my favorite book of all time, One Summer by Bill Bryson, using this method

Fun fact, that's also how I started playing No Man's Sky

Bill Bryson who wrote Notes From a Small Island? I recently bought another of his books as that was really funny.

Also, I'm looking to play No Man's Sky! Do you enjoy it?

Yes, that Bill Bryson. He's a great author and till date, I haven't found a book from him I didn't enjoy - I highly recommend any and all books from him

It was like 5 years ago, but I liked it at the time. I think I got maybe 10 hours of gameplay in all. Not my favorite game though, a solid 6/10
