I don't have good reading habits. I don't know why. But i am not inclined to spending time reading. I spend time hearing music, playing, chatting, and all that.
I find it as a good habit to learn. Can people around help me to get this as a habit. What i should do and how to go about to get into this.
Also suggest some good books from where i can start and get inspired to reading.

HI,
I suggest you start out reading about subjects that interest you alot.
One of your interests is music. Is there a musician you would like to read about or a type of music?
You could start out reading articles that you find on the internet, before you begin reading full-length books.
If you are interested in sports, you can read about sports in newspapers and magazines.

i am glad you asked this question. it has been said many times how reading is important in our modern life. anyway, start from your motivation. what is your motivation for reading? if it is for learning or fun, or to impress someone, it is OK to know our motivation. it gets us started. then, explore your interests. what are your interests? is it about people, business, movies, music? look for books about those things. then grab a book and start. have fun!

i think you should try to love books,and make reading become a part of your life.you can try to read when you listening to the music,and you can say something about what you and your friends read when chatting.reading is a good habit.good habits are always hard to deveiop,but where there is a will there is a way.come on!try your best!

I used to be like you. Wondering how can i have a reading habits. It's a good start that you joined mylot. It's one way of getting your interest. To get you interested in reading is to start with your interest. Do you like suspense, mystery, romance? If you find something that interest you, and when you start reading it, and you get bored- then it means you dontlike the author or maybe the story lost your interest. Try another one. I started out trying every books and i end up putting them in a bin, coz i dont like it. But when i met this girl in college, she keeps bringing this book. I asked her whats that, she said read it, you will love it. I did love it, it was a start. I tried to find the author and buy every books. And i got too addicted in reading i have to find a good author and a good story. Thats how i started and i have about close to thousand of books i collected from my favourite authors. ;)
