Diversely experienced resource development manager Joe Arrigo has worked in the IT, solar energy, and floral supply industries. In his personal time, Joe Arrigo has a strong interest in philosophy and politics, and reads more than 50 books a year. For those like Mr. Arrigo who enjoy reading, here are a few ways to get the most out of this pastime.
Reading Goals: While some people set a goal to read a certain number of books a year, Rather than basing goals on the number of books to read in a year, another way to increase reading is to set a goal based on pages to read per day. Readers can decide to read between 50 to 100 pages a day or read enough pages to finish a book within a set timeframe.
Book Clubs: Being part of a book club provides accountability and the chance to discuss topics in the book in-depth with like-minded people. Many bookstores and libraries host book clubs, and there are many specialized book clubs listed on the Internet.
Books as Companions: By always carrying a book, people can read during the countless periods of downtime throughout their day, such as waiting for public transportation or standing in line. These are ideal times to make progress toward daily reading goals.
