re: Does anyone else try to know as little as possible about a book before reading?

It's the only time I don't actually. For movies and tv series I stay far away from info as to not spoil it. For books; however, I find out as much as I can without discovering spoilers, because I don't want to dedicate the time required to read on something that I won't like.

I do have exceptions though for certain authors that I will read anything they write.
