How to read 100 books a year

Does your list of books to read keep growing? Do you buy books that you don’t even touch later? It’s time to fix that.

If you have opened this article, you too are probably concerned that you are reading fewer books than you would like. Every year we read less and less. After school, university, work, family, new worries, and commitments, reading takes a back seat.

But to really achieve something in this world, you need to constantly gain new knowledge. And books are one of the best sources of information and experience of other people. So let’s set a goal of reading at least 100 books a year.

But make sure the books are worth your investment. Perhaps you personally have no need for books, and the Internet and television replace them just fine. In that case, just don’t worry about reading less books. There is nothing terrible in it. Most people simply don’t need it. They can easily pay $200 for a pair of shoes, but they would be sorry to spend the same amount on 20 new books. It’s up to you what you choose.

But if you want to learn more, you will have to buy. The gist of this advice: the more books you have in your home, the more choice you have, and it helps to read more.And here’s why. You don’t plan most of your reading ahead of time. You don’t sit down in January and say, “I’m going to read this book the first week of June.” You usually finish a book and look over your bookshelf to decide what to tackle next. If no suitable option is at hand, you stop reading until something worthwhile comes into sight. That’s why it’s important that you always have a small stock of books.

Read all the time. Read at least one hour a day on weekdays and more on weekends and holidays. Make time for reading in your schedule. Don’t make excuses for being too tired or too busy.

Reading all the time means reading when you are:Riding the train;feeding a baby;eating;sitting in line at the hospital;bored at work.And most importantly: read while everyone else is watching the news on TV.
