The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life  Author: Steve Leveen | Book description | How do readers find more time to read? In The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life, Steve Leveen shares some of the most rewarding methods he's found for getting more books into your life and more life from your books. Spend just three hours with this Little Guide and add years of fulfillment to your reading life. You'll discover: Both practical and uplifting, The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life shows you how to transform a pastime into a lifelong passion that gets stronger with every book you absorb. The author's recommendations are disarmingly refreshing, as when he advises when not to read a book and why not to feel guilty if you missed reading all those classics in school. He helps readers reorganize their bookshelves into a Library of Candidates that they actively build and a Living Library of books read with enthusiasm, and he emphasizes the value of creating a Bookography, or annotated list of your reading life. Separate chapters are devoted to the power of audio books and the merits of reading groups. The author himself admits he came "late to the bookshelf," making this charming little guide all the more convincing. |
