•Choose a quiet place to read books. You can either find a quiet place in your own house or outside such as a park, etc. Choose a place that offers no distraction or minimum distraction while reading so that you can enjoy that phase and involve yourself fully in the situation you're reading.


•Instead of spending time on other sources of entertainment such as television, internet, etc, try to read. Cut off your time on other activities as it can add hours to the activity of reading books.


•Before start reading a particular book, make a log describing when you have started and by when it should be finished and follow it strictly. In this manner, you'll be able to engage in reading as you have to keep a track of your log.


•Choose some of your favored book stores and visit them once in a month or so to keep abreast about the current editions of your favorite authors or series. Don't miss your chance to get the latest edition as soon as it launches.
