How to get back into reading
Gather No Dust has a good article with tips for getting back into reading, like "start small", "it doesn't matter what you read", and "don't read before going to bed." One of the best pieces of advice was glossed over - if you like a movie or tv show look for the book. From Sense and Sensibility to Star Wars there are a lot of franchises that have book counterparts. The book Bad Twin is even a real book from inside the fictional Lost setting. The best point the article makes is don't be afraid to stop reading a particular book. Especially library books, which cost you nothing. These aren't brussel sprouts-- it is not good for you to suffer through a book you don't like reading! What tips do you have for getting back into reading?

Why is it bad to read before you go to bed?
ReplyDeleteThe article indicates that you will train yourself to fall asleep whenever you read something. I am less than convinced. Many people watch TV before going to bed and don't fall asleep everytime they watch tv. A lot of people find reading to be a good way to turn off a lot of the mental static before you go to bed as well. Do whatever works for you!
