How to read at least one book a month by langenoire

"Reading improves the mind and hones your thoughts."

How I did it: I've been focusing on reading more for several years. After I finished college, my reading dropped dramatically. And I was spending so much time on the internet reading poorly written blogs and comments that I was forgetting what it was like to read good prose. Now I read regularly; I try to read for at least 15 minutes a day. I can read several books a month this way.

Lessons & tips: Always carry a book with you. Join a local library to keep the costs down.

Want to Read More Too!

Like you, I read voraciously while in college. Now I read primarily fiction, but every now and again I’ll pick-up an Atlantic Monthly and am amazed at the difference between what I’ve gotten used to reading (also mostly blogs on the internet) and what’s contained in the AM articles.

I like the idea of limiting the time to only 15 minutes because we all have 15 minutes to spare, right?!

I’ll start today.

Thank You!

So true!

I feel like my love for reading trash on the internet has totally destroyed my previously stellar reading habits. I feel your (former) pain—thanks for the advice!
