Do you mark your calendar for new releases?
Most of the books that I choose to read are decades or even centuries old. Very rarely do I go to a store on the day that a book is released, because generally I am not hyping myself up for new books.
Maybe the cause is that I use Gutenberg for downloading ebooks that are within the public domain. I've found that there's a wealth of knowledge to be had there, so much so that I do not need to be current with new releases. I prefer to read philosophy, pulp mysteries, and classical literature; most of which has an enormous library in the public domain.
I'm also never up to date with movies and tv shows, but this may be a symptom of my chronic reading and my lack of TV.
What about you? Do you actively look for new books and have your calendar marked with released dates?
