ADVICE

Start with Engaging Fiction First

  • Start reading with engaging, easy-to-follow young adult fiction like Harry Potter.
  • Progress from fun reads to classics and deeper fiction gradually to build sustained interest.
ADVICE

Skim Nonfiction for Highlights

  • Skim and skip sections that don't grab your attention when reading nonfiction.
  • Don't feel obligated to read cover to cover; focus on parts offering new insights.
ADVICE

Judge Books Quickly, Move On

  • Give nonfiction books about 10-15 minutes of scanning with a big font to judge interest.
  • Shelve books early if they don't offer novel insights to focus on more engaging reads.
