#NuriaStore Tips,

HOW DID I BECOME A READER

here’s a thread on how to develop a good reading culture.

Feel free to add some that can be adapted.

1. You’ll need to realize that a good reading culture is about being disciplined. You can’t build it over night. Because it’s a discipline, it’ll be hard and there are many temptations. But build it until it’s second nature.

2. Understand the book you‘re reading. Knowing what you’re about to read and why it was written affects your attitude towards the book and will determine how you respond to it. So read the preface or any preceding notes. A good appreciation for the book will go a long way.

3. Pick a book within your sphere of interest or knowledge area. People often ask ‘How do you choose a book to read?’ The answer is simple. Pick a book you can relate to, a book you’ll understand and like. My favorite book may not be yours. So know what you like and go for it.

4. Take recommendations with a pinch of salt. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. They might recommend a book they like and if you read point 3, that book may be way out of your area of interest.

5. Never Ever read when you’re distracted or uncomfortable. These two things can turn a good book into a bother and seem like school work 😂.

We don’t want that. Get comfortable, put your feet up and read. Just don’t sleep. It’s unacceptable.
