Does anybody have any tactics they use when reading books?I know I know may sound silly,but I find it hard at times to read a book and finish it.Today's entertainment devices surrounding me doesn't help either haha..but really I'm looking for strategic ways to completely finish books,not only finish them,but also be able review them.I have 5 month's of free time since i'm taking this semester off,and I want to not waste it,so I'm going to use this time for bible study,prayer devotion,learning the Westminster shorter catechism and confession and reading these solid resources to be edified.
Hers's my plan..
-Pick 3 books I will like to finish within a month
-Out of those 3 choose 1 to say I WILL FINISH THIS book this month,no matter what.
-Set a goal to read at least a chapter a week(more if possible)
-For all the chapters I read will have to write a paragraph summary on it,which will be typed so I can share it with you guys.
-Once the book I completed is finished I will have to conclude what I read in at least a paragraph.
I know I don't have to do it this way,but I want to and I know I can because I started it before but didn't finish going through with it because I get sidetracked alot.Enough excuses,I learned in ROTC(before I quit that)that the only excuse is no excuse.I refuse to waste time,and space on my closet shelf with good books I don't read.I love reading and I love writing a lot it brings me peace, that's why I'm considering on switching to a major in english.
