What do you think about kindle. Is that ok ?

[livelife365]

@Johndrix2  as long as you're reading, anything is okay...peace

Cutting down on TV to read more is great advice - but the idea that you should fill every little break or pause in your day with a few pages would absolutely kill the pleasure I take in reading. Too much like a chore that has to get done. I'd much rather set aside a stretch of time at the end of the day that I can really get into reading - but I'm mostly a non-fiction reader. It's probably better advice for fiction readers who are looking for something to take them out of the moment.

i hope you achieve all of your reading goals...peace

I truly love reading, but I am dyslexic. It can take me twice as long or longer to processs what i'm reading. But I have now set myself a chalnge to read 1 book a fortnight.

I look forward to seeing more :)

What an inspiration!!! No idea how I came to watch this but I'm an adult who doesnt read. I'm going to get a book in the morning and start working towards a book a week. Thank you!

20 to 30 pages an hour? I never realized that was the average. I am an avid reader (25 books so far this year) I also read fast apparently I timed it at around 115 pages an hour not speed reading. The books I read usually average around 800 pages. My goal this year is 75 or so books hope fully more! Good vid though. Enjoy your reading

i am an extremely slow reader. before i got this laptop (that i am currently on and have been on for a while today) i would happily fill every spare moment with reading and even that didn't help my number of books lol. i have finished a lot of books and enjoy reading a lot, but this is too hard. however i do need to start back reading again so thanks for the reminder i will get back to it. btw i would love a library like you have :) it looks like a book lovers paradise lol :) at least to me

ive really had the urge to start reading more books lately, and the first book i read since then, i was so into it, that i spent 8 hours reading it, and i got through half the book! haha and right now im reading the count of monte cristo :)

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just pick it up. A lot of times I'm not motivated to read but suddenly once I start and get past the initial "should I" phase I find that I'm cranking page after page.
