Do other people influence what you choose to read? When a family member recommends something, or a friend says they hated a book you were planning to read … does it affect your reading choices?

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. I have gotten some great suggestions for books to read from friends and family. When someone suggests a book to me I am more likely to read it than if someone didn’t like a book. I tend to like to make up my own mind on if a book is bad. Granted this way of things has ended up with me saying “You were right” many times.
