first we have to choose good books for reading. then plan to read the books. like evening time sleep time, morning time or in free time.

let we have to choose good books like moral values books, novels, stories books, about freedom fighters and different kind of books.

later we have to plan to read that books in the day at least one or two hours.then we get some relief. if once we are started to reading

books then we gain more confidence on us. every day we have to read must and should books then we have to complete fifty books and more.

You can't really like what you are not interested in, and sounds are something else than reading.

I am pretty sure you don't need to be a superhero to do that. Lol. Just kidding. If you manage your brain to be in interested-mode you can achieve that. You can start by reading a book in  two or three day span from now. Get up and pick your favorite one.

Only a very dedicated bookworm can read such insane amount of books in a year. It would be difficult for someone who are busy reading 3~5 books in a year.

first we have to plan which books we want to read.later buy that kind of books.generally books are read for increasing brain functionality, and decreasing stress.we kept aim to read 30-40 pages per day.that's around 45-60 minutes of reading each and every day. so we have chance to complete 50 books in a year.

first we have to choose best and good books what we are liking.

later we have to plan and spend per day one to two hours to reading books.

then maximum we have to complete 50 and more books easily in a year.

it is very easy to read 50 books.

we have to keep some time per day then we have to complete it.

in the internet it is easy. because most of the people working on systems.

so they have to read in free times.

I would be interested to see how this goes and how many those in this thread finish reading in a year.

I knew an English major that used to read about 50 in a year (1 a week on average) and much more scholarly reading and writing between that. .. but this was her job and passion.

It would be interesting to note how much reading on average we do tho, without needing to read books, between our favorite blogs, forums such as here and reddit, reading medium posts, white papers and some of us even reading code.

Such goals are worthless, take a topic you would like to learn about, read a book, make notes, and than write a short essay what the book is about. You should be able to explain what this book is about to a friend who doesn't know anything about this topic.

My father is a pretty avid reader. At his peak he would read more than 100 books per year, I think now it's still way above 50. More around 80.

While my dad can read really fast, I have a problem with not being able to read as fast. I've tried all kinds of tricks, advice, read books on the subject, but I just can't seem to stop that voice in my head from pretend-reading it out loud - this seems to be what the problem is with us slow readers. That others have learned to bypass the speaking part of the brain and connect words with thoughts, while I, and people like myself, tend to do this: see the words, pronounce the words in my head, then understand them. This is still a very quick process, but after a couple of pages you start to see you're falling behind someone who doesn't do that middle part.

any advice?

but still, I read at least 30 books per year, even with this limitation. I think reading is vastly important. With my slowness it just means I need to pick the books very carefully :)

This whole speed reading is a myth, i can give you a book about a very specific Topic where you don't even know the meaning of the words. And there a sentences in there that should give you a lot to think about before you can understand.

Speed Reading is for dime novels. If i read a book and i can understand everything easily when its not a novel, im not reading it, there is nothing to learn from it.

You can read Platos republic and think really hard about every sentence. If you speed read it im pretty sure u learned nothing.

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.

depends how you understand speed reading. There is the breezing through the book at the speed of light... kinda skimming it as it were... and then there's the actual process of reading without the pronouncing all the words in your head as i described above.

that's an actual problem some of us have, that other don't have, and usually you have a hard time even explaining it to them, because reading in a way that they do (i believe the correct way) is so natural and engrained, they can't even imagine any other way.

but yes, I agree hard texts take a longer time to read because you're moving from sentence to sentence, parsing them, pondering, ... but this would still be done faster by a normal reader, than it's done by me and people like me.

I always figured if I ever got incarcerated I would take that time to learn, read, etc. Is it difficult to focus on that in jail or is that the only thing you can focus on?

The trick with reading books is to not spend to much time reading online!
Since the dawn of the internet I seem to be spending an endless amount of time reading and replying in forums.

It's the only thing you can focus on if you are living in a separate cell and the hardest thing to do when you are living with 50+ Inmates in a big room (my case).

Does that mean with bunkbeds or regular bed in one big room? damn, that's pretty distracting, I'd bet. so are you still in, or is this something from before? sorry if I'm getting too personal

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)

Maybe its start with how you think, not everybody is thinking in talking to himself. But i don't think that anyone will be breezing trough a completely book with an unfamiliar topic and can takeaway anything from it.

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.

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 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

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.

you just need to start reading 50 books a year ;D
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


Title: Re: How to read more than 50+ books a year
Post by: hownowbrowncow on October 30, 2017, 08:20:26 AM
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.
