[LIT] Cover Stories

[TLP]

Some of my students literally "pick" a book by its
cover for independent reading. Others start with the
cover, may be intrigued and then go onto the back-or
the first few pages before a decision is made. 

Now I must admit my own bias. I don't like many of the
covers on some of my favorite reads. "Hidden Talents"
was one of them. I had picked up the book
before and simply put it back because I assumed it was
for a much younger audience. After seeing it discussed
here, I went back and read it. I promptly purchased 4
for my own bookshelf. I now have them checked out by
students. It is likely the the publisher was trying to
appeal to a young male audience as the cover
indicated. Alas, I do not fit the bill! What do you
folks think about covers?
