The Advice of Writer Austin Kleon on How to Read More


Writer Austin Kleon sat a personal record last year by reading 70+ books. This is his advice on how to become an avid reader:


  1. Throw your phone in the ocean
  2. Make a budget, buy books you want to read, make a stack of them
    that you walk past every day (library is great, too, of course)
  3. Carry a book with you at all times
  4. If you aren't enjoying a book or learning something from it, stop reading it immediately (flinging it across the room helps give closure)
  5. Schedule 1 hour of nonfiction reading during the day (commute / lunch break is good)
  6. Go to bed 1 hour early and read fiction (it will help you sleep)
  7. Write about the books you read and share with others, as they will send you more books to read
