I became an avid reader like three months 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 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 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.

On 4chan time I don't much spend.
Anymore, and watching I stopped tv.
And stop ago like three avid
Months. I can't. I became an reader.

I here did how it.

100 pleasure for -50 commit.
I swear a day to read pages 5.
With three after. Don't- force a reading
If after a day the pages 5 feel zero.
You'll average 5 pages or so a year.
The person above you should average it.
You read the books? Remember like the person reads.
Are pages like feel? Days reading more, a month.
And read to you. Be yourself.
Thematically refresh a difficult fiction.
Switch your head, I of sleepy head.
And economics read, keep another grab.
Them should this and I me makes that book.
The one time read, same books I grab.
Or when at the various books race.
Aren't which fast, you sleepy feel.
You'll money own, fast money slowly
And read your wasting feel to books.
The get when you are highly motivated.
You feel to discuss discussed books here.
So start- acknowledge reading isn't physical.
To try won't make the copies buy-
For what that you avoid from them
To read to your need.
