Not necessarily pick and chose, although a lot of Muslims do that which is technically wrong. However, if two people read the exact same book, they'll have different variations of what they understood from it, what was important, what wasn't too important, etc. Also some Muslims put a lot of weight on the different Hadiths (Mohammed's dialogues) where as some Muslims just take the Quran as the be all end all guidance of your life and don't pay much attention to the Hadiths.
