I have to admit I definitely have been inspired by covers, by jackets, by first pages to buy books. I think my reading choices are ultimately inspired by the Web though and finding books others recommend. I also LOVE the recommended feature on Amazon and have been inspired to check out a lot of books that way. It's kind of wild how Amazon can really get to know your likes!

I found myself doing the exact same thing in regards to Tudor history and the 15th and 16th century England which then in turn lead me to read several biographies on Elizabeth I. I could relate to everything you said. Your post was fantastic!!

Reading choices are always like double-edged sword. I want to be part of others' reading context but my whim sometimes just won't allow it. In short, what inspires me is my own volition and whim.

This is such a complex question because it could be interpreted from many standpoints. I love it when books inspire me to want to learn more about a subject, whether that be just for general information or perhaps to want to read more books on that particular subject.
