How to read more
It made me
feel better
 "turn off the tv, close your computer, and read."
How I did it: I just did it. I found a couple books that seemed interesting and started reading. the hard part is getting into the reading habit, but once you do it for a while, you get pretty immersed in the book and it just goes from there.

How I did it: In conjunction with my goal of watching less tv, I now turn it off and read. I also have starting going back to the public library. I was buying a lot of paperbacks, etc., but feel that it is important to utilize the public library and not take it for granted! I also go to a used book store and trade books more instead of buying them. Read how I did it…
aspiringnerd Probably isn't getting a computer for a while
How I did it: I read in school because I was bored. Now I just read good books. I have more time now, too. Between two classes Monday and Wednesday, I have a three hour gap. I run out of things to do. Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took me a while due to laziness I suppose but I started a book club and we have our second book club meet up next week. This allows you to recycle books and read more without buying them. And an incentive to get through your book. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I decided to put all the books I'd been struggling through on hold, and pick up some more fun books. I've found I prefer to read non-fiction over fiction, but in the end I forced myself to read ONE fiction book, just so I could feel well-rounded. The majority of the books I borrow from friends and got at discount bookstores so it didn't cost a lot of money. I'd say overall the books mainly dealt with self-improvement so I can definitely s… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took several steps towards this. 1) I brought a book with me wherever I go. I made sure to make a book essential in the list of things that need to be in my purse (and so, yes, I used a purse that's big enough to fit most paperbacks). I still do this. :) 2) Set some time everyday to just read. It doesn't matter if it's 15 minutes or 2 hours, as long as it's done. I'd often wake up earlier than usual to get in some reading time. 3) Made … Read how I did it…
Right now I’m ‘Twilight’ by Stephanie Meyer. I’m at page 317, and it’s so much better than the movie. At least I think so. I love the movie, but….the book..wow.
I’ve been reading it since August so I should have been done reading it a long time ago. I’m not a slow reader, I just have other things to do as well. Which is why I want to read more.
I’ve been reading a little each day and I am already half way through this book. :)
I ordered and received the book “29 Gifts” by Cami Walker in the mail yesterday. I’m going to start with this book and I plan to take the 29 days of giving challenge when finished.
I’ve finished Northanger Abbey last night, wonderful story :)
today I’m starting to read Sense and Sensebility
PhoenixTail feels like progress.
There’s a list of 1000 books, and I plan to read them all!
I first have to take all of the books off of my shelf. So far, I’m almost done. I stopped reading one book, though. It just wasn’t for me.
wildflowermom is going to work soon
I usually have several books on the bedstand. now it is The Fountain Society by Wes Craven among others.
im going to read 3 books before i even think about crossing this off my list…
1) Devil wears prada
2) Paris hiltons biography
3) Katie price auto-biography.
I want to read more because its relaxing, and i guess its kinda good for you. Also when your stressed you can just go to a different place, i think it will take me a long time to get into this, but by new year i want to have this crossed off my list.
Wish me luck!

I haven’t read much lately and I can feel it in my bones and it makes me sad. I picked up my John Adams the other day and read about 10 pages so that was nice. Reading to me is like sunshine and hugs. I need them to get through the days…
At a random moment in time, I decided to download a program on my Android phone called Aldiko, which is an e-Book reader. It is comprised of a library or older books and original books from self-publishers to download for free.
With the books always on my phone, it was easy to start reading when bored. The books I read completely sucked me in. These books were only about 100-150 pages in length though.
I think I’ll considered this goal completed once I read a novel or 2.
