1. Read every day.
2. Read more than one book at a time.
3. Read while waiting in line.
4. Listen to audio books in the car to double your reading time.
5. Download a book on your iPod and listen while you exercise, do housework, & other mundane activities.
6. Choose books that appear on multiple lists, awards, & with starred reviews to help ensure that your reading time is well spent.
7. Keep a reader's list of the title and author of what you read. Reread your list periodically to keep these books fresh in your mind for reader's advisory.
