1. Read the book that is fifth on your to-read list, or a number on your to-read list that consists of all fives & zeros(i.e. 5, 50, 55, 500, 505, 550).
2. Read a book with a colorful cover.
3. Read a book on your to-read list that you've been avoiding, or that keeps getting pushed back for whatever reason.

6. Read a book by the third author on you're to-read list (check to see what the third book on your to-read list is, and read a book by it's author).
