How to read more books
It made me
insightful
 "Reading more books made me learn more about the world, and the stories were entertaining too."
How I did it: Just go to the library. Get your friends to point out some good reads and put some time aside every night for reading. Its definitely worth finishing another book

How I did it: Started by friends giving me books to read...there's also the lists on the internet called; 100 great books..that is a list to pick from if you don't know where to start. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started reading more because of my literature and creative writing classes. I also went into book stores and bought books that looked interesting to me and I couldn't just let them sit in a bookshelf after I paid good money for them. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I went to the library and checked out a book. You need to figure out what genre you like. I know I am a romantic person so I picked romance. You know your interests, so pick accordingly. Every night about half an hour to an hour before I want to go to sleep I start reading. Then I just read until I get drowsy. It's a nice way to keep your mind from running through the stressful things of the day, and it's also a nice way to wind down. Read how I did it…
Endrina - crap rarely falls from clear skies
How I did it: I have always loved reading, but while I was a student I would often feel guilty/tired of reading. I would often become restless after a few pages, if I even found a book I could be bothered to read. I started by searching for books on amazon I have read and enjoyed and found similar reads, made a list of books I want to read, printed it and brought it with me to the library. Recently I found www.goodreads.com which is a great site for me… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I try to keep three to five books in queue, so I have a few choices to pick up on as soon as I've finished one book. Sometimes I finish a book in a few days,sometimes I leisurely tread through it in a couple of weeks. There's not a right answer to 'how long should it take me to read this book?' I just relaxed and read at my own pace. We lead busy lives--no need to stress about your free time! Read how I did it…
Just finished MindHunter, written by the starter of the FBI’s Investigative Support Unit, John Douglas. I had to read it for school, but I found it to be extremely interesting. I have always been a true crime buff, and Douglas’s book about the emergence of the art of profiling was extremely interesting.

i’m experiencing a reading spurt at the moment. i can’t get enough of it. currently reading, Paulo Coelhos, ‘The Zahir’ and ‘The Road Less Travelled’ by Scott Peck. both books have similiar themes along the lines of spiritual growth, love etc

out of my current cold – I grabbed a book again and started reading today. Hey, if I don’t feel up to do much else…
Try my best to read more every day.Reading is such a good thing that will make us know more about the world.Spend at least one hour a day to reading.Try to read different kinds of books,like something I didn’t read before.Now I am reading a book about Nietzsche,written by Heidegger.I didn’t read books about Philosophy.But now,I think I should not just read the novels,novels without profound thoughts.
kbn1 is starting her list of goals. Cool.
going to try to go to bed 1/2 hour earlier to allow for some reading time before sleep.
vwruleschick is looking forward to the weekend (again) !
I started it about 10 days ago – classes got hectic and throw in a baby shower and 2 birthdays. EEks I haven’t had too much time available to de-stress and escape into the story. I am hoping to finish this book soon so that I can rent the movie with BFF and watch (and cry) together.
So far I am enjoying the story and how it is all unfolding with the different characters and their points of view within the storyline.
Wonder if the movie will be same or go in tangent manner? Oh well, guess I will have to see for myself.
I read the Omnivore’s Dilemma, and now I’m reading The Red Tent. Next, I think I want to read In Defense of Food, then maybe The Tipping Point, Freakonomics, hmmmm…what else? You know, I only really read books that have been recommended to me by others, I figure, if I’ve heard enough about how good a book is, I’d probably like it too!

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book in a day. Granted, this was a short book – but it more than made up for it with the fun it provided :)
So this was Coraline by Neil Gaiman.
I’m so glad I took the last chance to see the movie earlier this year. It was wonderful and I probably wouldn’t have read the novel otherwise.
