Uh--there are loads of websites out there, like goodreads, that are all about people reviewing books and giving them star-ratings like on Amazon--or hell, Amazon has ratings too. Also, depending on where you are, your local library may have an ebook collection. Once you get the actual card by going into the library, you can stay home and check out ebooks on your computer or e-reader or whatever. Also, you realize there are fandoms for books that were never adapted into movies or tv shows or musicals or whatever, yeah? My most longstanding--as in, I've been in it 20 years--fandom is a book fandom. Sorry to flip out. I work in a library and people seeing going to the library as effort rather than fun makes me sad.

I live in a very small city, so my library isn't that great (and it's well out of my way on the other side of town). I still don't know how to start searching for stuff like that, though? I'm really picky, and for some reason books feel like more of a commitment than watching some pilot for a TV show or the start of some Youtube walkthrough for a video game to see if I'll like it or not.

So really, I only read non-fiction historical stuff because at least with that I'm guaranteed to enjoy it. I don't have an e-reader, either.

I honestly do not understand why people make finding interesting books out to be so hard. It's a pretty similar process to finding interesting fanfic, only instead of searching by fandom/pairing, you're searching by genre and reading plot summaries. What you actually seem to mean is "I don't want to do it", which is FINE, by the way. But please, don't let's go through this bizarre charade that it's somehow impossible to find a good book while fanfiction rains down on you like manna from heaven.
