1.Don't Read By Time-table, Read By Mood

If you want to read more:

• Stop reading books you think you're supposed to read.
• Don't be afraid to stop reading a book you don't enjoy.
• Put reading time on your schedule.
• Take advantage of "edge time."
• Read books you can then talk about.

Because "Reading fiction develops us emotionally," says Ramsden. "According to Keith Oatley at the University of Toronto, reading makes us think and feel in different ways. As we bond with the fictional characters, we are learning to better understand people both on the pages and off."
