How do readers find more time to read? In The Little Guide to Your
Well-Read Life, Steve Leveen shares some of the most rewarding methods
he's found for getting more books into your life and more life from your
books.
Spend just three hours with this Little Guide and add years of
fulfillment to your reading life.
You'll discover:
o How to read 12 more books a year even if you
have no more time to read
o Why part of your personal library should
be empty and a large part filled with books you want to read
o How to
get a reading on a book before you read it
o When to give up on a book
(even if it's a classic)
o How to create an annotated reading
biography
Both practical and uplifting, The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life
shows you how to transform a pastime into a lifelong passion that gets
stronger with every book you absorb.
The author's recommendations are disarmingly refreshing, as when he
advises when not to read a book and why not to feel guilty if you missed
reading all those classics in school. He helps readers reorganize their
bookshelves into a Library of Candidates that they actively build and a
Living Library of books read with enthusiasm, and he emphasizes the value
of creating a Bookography, or annotated list of your reading life.
Separate chapters are devoted to the power of audio books and the merits
of reading groups.
The author himself admits he came "late to the bookshelf," making this
charming little guide all the more convincing.
