Oh! So you are a reader! Wow! How do you do it?
What do you mean, “How do we do it?” For non-readers, reading is like some game plan. Like Money Heist – that has to be planned down to the details. No wonder, the Professor is not so very happy!
Today, I am going to talk about that questioning look people give to readers or the questions they ask. Take it straight from me. Do we ask you why you eat? Or for that matter, why you breathe? Hit the spot? There you get it!
So once a reader, always a reader! I am sure to cover up for that goof-up you will ask, how do you manage to read? Again, I would like to remind you – this isn’t Money Heist, dammit! It is more like “The Book Thief” or “The Shadows of Wind”… know these? They’re books. Books on people who love books. Anyways, back to the point.
You are stumped about the fact as to how we read. Right?
If you are a regular reader (by regular I mean practically reading everyday), you already know the answer. However, there have been times I have been asked to solve the question of ‘How do I start reading again?’ or perhaps, ‘I have never read a book, how do I even begin?’ This article is for you. The real answer lies within you!
Let’s start with the basics:
- Time: What time are you really free? If you are to begin reading, you need to set out time for this. It can’t happen without a plan or a structure.
- Pace: How fast can you read? Pick up a book that helps you get reading done depending on your pace of reading.
- Interest areas: What do you generally like to know about? Pick up a book on the basis of your interests.
- Place: Choose a place that you feel best comfortable in. That would help you enjoy reading. Bed, armchair or that lounge – you choose.
- Connect to others: Connect to the other people who are into reading. Discuss books, ask for recommendations and enjoy the whole journey. You can connect to others by taking up three month plan membership of Kaffeinated Konversations. There are two plans – 300/- and 999/- plan.
