Read books about authors. Every time I read an author biography I end up with several dozen books to add to my list of random books to read.

Amazon, Bookdepository, any e-commerce. Search a book, a genre, a publishing house, any word of particular and start to browse the recommendations. Go to second hand stores, check charts, read authors who inspired the work of authors you like. Check the catalog of Penguin Classics, Oxford World Classics, MacMillan Library Collection, etc, classics are (almost) always great.
I just bought a bunch of books I know nothing about.

>Today, almost all the animals in the world do not and cannot determine their destinies. It was not always like this. Before the emergence of human beings thousands of years ago, animals were free to roam the planet as they wished. Meanwhile, humans gradually evolved and sought ways to survive under difficult conditions: they were compelled to prove their superiority to everyone and everything that inhabited the earth. To protect themselves and live more comfortable lives, they began using and killing animals at their will. Moreover, they ate the beasts, used them in various ways, and drove them to flee from their homes. In each century of the modern era, humans found new ways to maltreat animals. They constantly sought to prove their superiority as a species or race. So, eventually, humans caged animals and put them on display in homes as well as in zoos and circuses. They “milked” them of their pride and natural way of life. Animals became slaves.

I am always surprised by how many people ask this question but less surprised when I realize they are all frog posters.
