Lost the spark for reading? Trying to get back into it? Read just 10 pages a day to ease you in, and discuss your progress and what you're reading here.


Start reading 10 pages a day, and keep it up. The idea of this subreddit is to hopefully help people get out of that reading slump, and back into reading great books!

As author Jeff Olson states: "There is no question after reading 10 pages a day, over a period of one year, that your life will be changed."


Rules

There are not a whole bunch of rules here, just be good to each other and don't bully or harass. If you see bullying, report it.

Starting Ready Player One

The prologue had my hooked. Being a child of the 80s, Im psyched to read about Atari and Coleco and old school 80s pop culture.

If you start with just 10 pages a day...

You will want to read even more than ten in on day. I'm working my way through several books right now and the ten per day rule is great, but you'll find yourself naturally reading more than only ten. Just keep reading! Have fun in 2018!

New Year's resolutions

It seems to have gone a bit quiet here. And unfortunately, I didn't keep up my reading either, after I made a good start here.

But with the new year coming, I want to pick this up again. Personally, my goal for the next year is to read 100 pages per week. I know I can do it, but I need to keep it up.

I'm thinking of starting a local book reading club, either at work or in the neighborhood. Hopefully this will help with accountability and to encourage each other to ingrain good habits.

Do you have any New Year's resolutions?

Excited to try

I just got back from vacation and found this sub. I'm excited to be apart of this and see if it helps my reading. Currently reading "Odd Girl Out" by Rachel Simmons.

Hope long does it take to read the classics?

I'd like to recommend collections of short stories for people in this sub. One short story a day in a very concrete, manageable, and sustainable way to go.

If you have recommendations, please add them below. I have just two:

One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories, by BJ Novak. BJ Novak was one of the primary writers behind The Office (US) and is extremely funny. His stories are engaging, humorous, and generally pretty brief. Highly recommended to remind you how fun reading can be.

Nine Stories, by JD Salinger. He has soooo much more than Catcher in the Rye.

Online Reading Suggestion

I would love to get back to reading, specially since I think it'd help me deal with my situation. But due to having financial issues, I've had to sell/give away pretty much all my books (very difficult and it still hurts ;_; ). So I won't have the means to buy any for a while. I know there's the Gutenberg website, but is there any other means of reading books free online?

If there are none, what books would you suggest in Gutenberg?

What's your starter book?

Mine is going to be Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. It's short and I hear it's amazing, so I'll finish it quickly and hopefully be excited to start my next read!

Side note: I'm super excited to find this sub! I used to read all the time, but after starting college I had to read so much for class that I stopped reading for fun and fell out of the habit. Here's hoping we'll all get into reading again thanks to this sub!
