The Art of Reading More Effectively and Efficiently

I enjoy reading and have desired to do more of it. A number of things in this article are a shortened version of Adler's classic How to Read a Book, which my book club read about a year ago. It is interesting that we aren't really taught methods to read a book, just pick it up and read it. But there are indeed very specific ways to more effectively read books based on the type of book and the intent of your reading.

I've recently been reading a lot more. The key has been to build it into my morning routine, and to read a real book, not an ebook. I take a bit of time after the dog has been fed and the coffee made to sit down with a book. I have a pen nearby to markup the book. I read for the duration of my cup of coffee. It is great. 📚
