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: 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 think you have to find your genre. I used to go by friends recommendations. It turns out that all my friends like ficton and I can't get in to most fiction books. I love factual books. All these years I thought I hated reading. 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…

first regular book since, oh, a while. It continues to be difficult to do some reading with the kittens around. They don’t like me to sit still…
So I’ve chose a fairly short one and one where I know the story, due to having seen its (wonderful) movie version: Coraline.
Not reading enough, but need to find things I like to read which is a constant problem.

I’ve made monthly goals and one for November was to start a new book… it’s 11/5 and I’ve started Kite Runner, so I can mark this goal off my Nov list… Good job for me!

I have been reading almost everyday. I read on my breaks at work and that makes me want to read more in general!
