Any readers?
Curious to know how many readers there are here =P
Should be a couple since a blogger reads alot!
How did you get started with reading? Which are your favourite genres of books! Which book would you recommend instantly! How many books in your shelf?
Have you always been a bookworm, or are you like me? Probably read about 5 books willingly in high school, but then after high school, I discovered the right type of books. Ones that expand your mind, or teach you something. Then I started consuming about 3 every month!
Since there is so much information out there, it's hard to keep up! Easiest way I found to read tons of books was to get the audio file of the book as well as the physical book, or PDF file. You then play the audio of the book at about 1.45X normal speed, or whichever speed you can handle smoothly, and read along in the book.
A normal 300 page book takes about two hours to read through. If the book you read is based on improving yourself, you can always read the book at your own pace if it's a good book. This method mostly applies to Personal Development books though. Wouldn't want to have someone speeding through the crazy vocabulary of Sherlock Holmes books. XD
Awesome quote I remembered:
"Hoarding is one of the worst habits a person can have, except if you are hoarding books!"
