I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

Hello, I'm looking for more books about jazz. Currently I'm reading History of Jazz by Ted Gioia, and I read the autobiographies of Miles Davis, Michał Urbański, Tomasz Stańko, Charles Mingus and I read Coming Through Slaughter. What else would you recommend?

I'm also interested in books on soul, funk and hip-hop.

I have nothing helpful to add past the fact that I think the Miles Davis autobiography is one of the most entertaining biographies I've ever read.

Out of the four brothers, Smerdyakov is the one I relate to the most too. Ivan is too intelligent for me. Alyosha is too religious. Dimitri is too dumb. But Smerdyakov? He is the amalgam of the three brothers. Extremely conflicted.

Does anyone know any good books on Crystal/Gemstone Lore? I'm interested in reading about them more out of curiosity than any actual belief in the idea of mystical powers.

I've been recommended Judy Hall's books but I thought I'd ask some of you guys if you knew.

Go to the 110s (dewey system) section of your local library-there's loads of stuff, and it's all the same. Don't waste your money on such drivel.
