I became an avid reader like three weeks ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are like 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read like 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

That's the beauty of Youtube my friend the cereal tutorials never have to end. Eventually if you click on enough they will start auto-playing for you. You could become the most highly trained Cereal eater on the planet.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 23 04:05:33 2019 No.12810757 Does anyone else remember the thread where someone had randomly scrambled the words of this pasta into new sentences? I remember that some of them were actually kind of profound-sounding, like “Read your wasting feel to books.”
