I want to know how you do manage your time to read. At the beginning of the year, I’ve made a resolution to read more this year but after 3 or 4 months of good reading, I was back to my “old version”. Some good practices?
I have a Kindle with a backlight that I keep by my bed and I typically read at least a few pages when I try to go to sleep. Most of the content I have is free out-of-copyright books from Project Gutenberg supplemented with more modern commercial ebooks once in a while. I’ve been reading really old children’s fiction lately (e.g. Anne of Green Gables most recently) since that’s usually intelligible enough even with some differences in English since it was written (or in some cases non-US dialect differences) and tends not to be so stimulating that it keeps me awake.
I read 30 - 60 books each year, depending on how busy I am. Mainly this is done via audiobooks - I read about 80% of my books that way while I’m doing mindless tasks like cleaning, cooking, chores etc. I also keep a book on my nightstand and I read every night before bed, often in the morning when I wake up as well.
Join us over in /m/books by the way!
I keep part of my TBR pile in the crapper and a read a few pages every time I use the toilet.
