I’ll definitely pick up books in stores and look at them based on the cover. And pass them by based on the cover. If you’re unfamiliar with the book, you don’t have anything else to go on, and you can’t look at every book.

But this is also different. The people making a fuss about these books already know about the book and what it's about, some even having already read it. I do the same thing as you when I go to a library or bookstore, but I'm also not going to not read a book with an ugly cover.
