In order to get myself to read more what should I do?

  • I am a reader. But it drive me crazy when I don't have a list of books that I want to read. Should I write out a list of books that I want to read?

  • go to the library and find a friend.


  • This is going to sound really pathetic, please don't judge me.

    I honestly find that judging a book by it's cover helps. I've found most of my favourite authors and books because of their covers. I just wander through stores and libraries until I see a cover that really catches my attention. This hasn't failed for me yet.
    There is a bit of truth to it as well. If a publisher knows that he will/has made a lot of money off the book, they can afford putting more money into the cover art.

    My favourite authors are Clive Barker and Douglas Coupland if you're interested. Worth checking out perhaps?

    Also, if you haven't already, why don't you check out comic books and graphic novels? You may find a whole genre to explore. If you're already into comics, check out Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, Sandman, and even V for Vendetta.

    Whether you take my advice or not, I hope you find some good books to read.


  • That makes it sound like an assignment. I'm like you except I like to see the piles in almost every room. I suggest you browse. Go to the bargain tables or the new releases. See what covers interest you & then read the back of the book or the dust jacket. Wander the store checking out categories you might not usually read. In psychology or some of the social sciences you'll find true stories or memoirs that may give you new insights. Revisit favorite old authors to see if they have a new book, or one you may have overlooked.

    I'm going to suggest checking resolved questions on here, but most people just list titles. Look for those that give a synopsis or at least the genre. Read the critics' pages in the papers or magazines.

    Lists are useful, but try being spontaneous--you might be surprised at new favorites.


  • You have the option of writing a list, but that won't do you any good unless you have the books to read on hand.

    Either go to the library and get several books you want to read or buy the books and keep them handy.


  • If thats what it takes then do it, an alternative would be to simply get a printout of books by authors you like and work your way through that list.
