1 book a month, at least

It is very useful to read two pages a day from any book you like. This helps to enrich your vocabulary and to express more easily in conversation or in writing. Good for you if you decided to read a book in a month. A great idea to use your netbook. I must confess I'm a little lazy in reading paper books. I read every day only on the internet and mainly in English but I have to read also in my native language. I promise! Thank you for reminding me of the good habit of reading!

I can't read only a book a month... At least I read 3 of them (if they are interesting). I'm reading a book about Wartegg's test. I like this kind of book ^^

Hi Cgirl, there are many books written for busy people. Certain books, such as those teaching you about performance appraisals, techniques of holding meetings, project management, are short and to the point. You can finish the book within a day, if you have an hour of quiet time for reading. Some books are very nice and make for light reading, such as those Chicken Soup for the Soup series. it is written by normal people for normal people. Not those full time writers and not professionals.

So reading doesn't fit in your lifestyle at all. Reading is not for all, just for an enclosed elite of people who have enough time as to read everyday with no worries of any kind (eg. financial). If you do not have such an amount of time to spend on reading, then spend it on surviving.

I love reading as it improves my vocabulary. I just like reading in general. But my family does not support reading. They believe academic books are the only ones t be read. So they won't finance it. I will buy and read with my own money.

Hello cgirl! January for me is the best month to set a book challenge for myself though I have not really successfully completed one before. Just like you, I get lost in the middle of the year. Work, friends, and family take most of, if not all, of my time. I get to read snippets for just a couple of minutes and I also get tired and sleepy easily after work. That leaves no room for my reading habits unlike when I was still a student, I had a very light schedule so I could really read throughout the day and even night. I can even read up to 5 books in one month, if I remember it correctly. Next year, I plan to challenge myself one more time. I'd stick to a realistic goal this time. Maybe your one book a month is a good idea but to make it more challenging, I will make it two books a month. I like reading fiction and psychology books. Oh I love self help books as well :) If you are interested maybe we can make a book club or something :)

What an awesome goal! I read all the time, but i don't know if I read one book a month. I go through times when all I want to do is read and other times when I don't wanna read. maybe I should make a goal to read more often.

I try to. I mean, when i go home when i have planned to read a book, of course i do make sure that i am able to read at least a couple of pages, i do this when i go to sleep so that makes me stick to the plan still. :D hehe

That's a good idea if you can do it and commit yourself to it. Not a lot of people have the time to do that but I love reading myself and I just read one book after another and so on and so forth. I mainly read fiction as I love to escape into different worlds although I do read the occasional reference book from time to time as there is a lot of knowledge out there in the big wide world. I think that the regular reading of books is a great way to improve yourself and your mind. It's almost as if you are spending private time with the author and the author's thoughts and reflections. Anyway, happy reading to you. Andrew

This is an excellent goal that you have set for yourself! I personally read about a book every month, and I listen to books in my car on the way to work. This way, I read about two books or more a month! I try to switch up my genres, as well. It is always nice to hear some Non-Fiction, mixed in with my favorite fantasies! Listening to something different really broadens your ideas about the world around you. Keep up your reading! May I suggest a Nook? I love mine!

Reading..... I make it a point to read the Newspaper everyday. Apart from this i do have some pdfs and E-books that i read whenever i get the time for it. So there is no fixed routine for me and it is more of Adhoc actions.

Hi there... its a good thought.. i think the kind og change in our thoughts and behaviour that reading can bring is unbelievable... but unfortunately i have not been reading for a long time...i think that is really the bigest source of information and knowledge.. and a book it always a great friends

Hi,reading is such a great thing to do in our life,and i also made such a decision every month.lol,i just want to find somewhere quiet that makes me feel comfortable from the busy life.It is a good habit for girl to read books so as to improve themselves and their knowledge.I would read as more as i have time.lol

I try to read a really educational book. But all it does is speed up my sleepiness. So, I only read them before I sleep.

There may be some good suggestions for books which are easily read and snippets from them on facebook page - Readers of Books - if anyone is interested. I love to read too, I have more time than I used to, and I have also found that the right book seems to come to me at the right time for what is going on in my life, since I have started to read non fiction books. It is brilliant.
