How to read by Count1234

"Interesting but not really worth it."

How I did it: I chose 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' as it's quite a thin book and one that I felt I could maybe relate too as I often find it very hard to 'get into' a book. I kept my laptop off and made reading my only form of entertainment.

Lessons & tips: Definitley find a book that you can relate too.

Resources: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I ended up borrowing a book recommended by a friend based on my interests. To make sure that I had time, any freetime I dedicate to "time wasting" or as me and my friends like to call it "Halo 3" I would instead use at least 10 minutes to read. Most of the time it was enough to keep me interested to the poin… Read how I did it…

    so much to read... 4 months ago

    it seems impossible for me to do all the required reading for a whole semester. Most of the time I only read a part of the texts or scan them for the important points.

    Quality. 5 months ago

    I’m not sure what happened, but it seems that the computer ate my reading time. I would hesitate to call myself a reader, except that I do read stuff on the web all the time. But I no longer read books.
