No. I just read whatever is on top of the stack of books waiting to be read, unless a new book in a series I'm already reading just came out, then I'll start that.

If there isn't a book that is screaming your name from the shelf, then you aren't going to miss out on some life changing moment. Books aren't instantaneous moments that you'll miss out on. Your experience might be different if you read a book when you are in your teens vs when you are in your 20s vs in your 40s, but if you read a book now vs in a few weeks, I think you'll be OK.
