Yep, reading is all about setting aside time. Of course there are many books about how to read faster, as you will obviously be able to read more books in any given year, if you are able to read books faster, while at the same time retain the same or more of what you are reading into memory. I also agree with the author of the article, a Kindle, or in my case a Kindle Paperwhite is an essential part to reading these days.

you just need to start reading 50 books a year Grin
but seriously, there is a method of speed-reading, it says that it is not necessary to read the whole book from cover to cover, enough to read some chapters from the book that would understand what the book is about. Plus it says that there is a technique cursory reading, not to read every word in the sentence, it read like superficial. But in any case need to practice

Possible for bookworms but it would take discipline. Thanks for sharing this. I will try to increase my reading capacity in a year (significantly)! Cheesy

To be realistic it would make me happy if I would read two books a month. In this context I like the saying "language shapes thinking" (and I´m not a native english speaker)

Sounds kind of excessive to me, I'd rather apply what I learned from 10 books than read 50 and do nothing with that knowledge

This is totally subjective to the reader in question.  I don't speed read, but I read fast and have a very high reading comprehension level.  If you have a low comprehension level it's going to take longer as you struggle with context, meaning and definition.  I don't even know how many books I read in a year, it's a whole lot.  And books is a wide ranging topic as well.  Plato's republic isn't very long but it will be a struggle if you aren't versed in classical philosophy.  On the flip side war and peace isn't that much of a struggle to get through except for the length.  Pop fiction isn't hard to comprehend and aren't long, usually so they'll go much faster.  Biographies and nonfiction accounts/manuals also vary in length and complexity of the subjects presented.  So yes, of course you can read 100 books in a year, it depends on the reader and the books.

Its not possible bro...
If you read day and night without doing anyother work u can...
If the books are in mp3 format u can listen then..
Listning is more easy than reading... Smiley

For me I prefer reading
reading is a lot better than listening, more enjoying to be exact.

it's all about consistency, there is a technique called habit chains you can use that to train yourself to read a little everyday, you will be amazed how much you can achieve with those small efforts as long as they are consistent of course

it depends how we understanding speed reading or slow reading. if we have reading habit then it is easy to reading. we have no habit for reading books it is very difficult. we try to spend one or two hours in a day for reading. reading is depends that book and surrounding environment. in the Internet easy to reading. because now a days most of the people depends on Internet. so we have time spending on Internet for reading books. so choose good books, timing, surroundings, our mindset.

It's not that hard.. elon musk was reading about 10 books a month so you'll be able to read 50 year if you want to, or you wait for the technology, where you'll be able to eat a pill and know a specific book.. make your choice Smiley

That was a very interesting article that can boost ones interest of reading.
Mp3 is sound and deals with listening, not reading.

No beds just empty room. Every prisoner gets 1 plate, 2 bowl and 2 piece of cloths for bedding. You can get books and clothes from your family member. Nothing else.
Ps: I was released 4 months ago on bail. ( I've spent 13 months in jail under judicial custody. I wasn't convicted)


Mattress

Blanket

Well, Everything depends on book material and your surroundings. If it's a good book, you will obviously try to finish it as soon as possible.
 I've finished Kane and Abel in 24 hours and The Fountain Head in just 2 days. I've read total 78 Books in 13 month of my incarceration period.

In highc school, literature teachers are pushing students to read books and novels in a mandatory term. This is how you can make one person to read 50+ books a year. And it works.
