How do you identify good fiction?

Asked by xxii (3329points) January 6th, 2011

I’ve often faced this problem when trying to pick out fiction books. Say you’re at the bookstore, and you want to pick up a work of fiction, but you don’t have any titles in mind.

When you browse the shelves and pick up a book, how do you decide whether it’s worth a read or not? A good-looking cover? An interesting blurb? Do you stick with trusted authors or genres?
