Read a lot, but not much.
Pliny the Younger
How many books do you read a year? And in the past month? Reading back in fashion - a lot of young (and not so) people "swallow" the book is literally one gulp, one by one. In the process of immersion into the amazing world of bibliographical their appetites only grow.
Keep track of new books
In order not to miss interesting news on Amazon'e or other websites, you can add links to them in the good old Evernote or bukmarki service Pinboard.in.
And if the first all long been understood (note only that a definite plus Evernote is a mobile version, thanks where you can add a bookmark to your favorite book at any given time), then the last is to talk a little bit more.
Pinboard.in - a social bookmarking service, featuring austere design, high speed and lack of advertising. Website ulterior motive is positioning itself as a "social bookmarking", since each user has his or tag feed-channel by subscribing to that you can find new and interesting resources for themselves, including electronic library. After registration is also available with the integration of account Readitlater, Twitter'm and other services. The only negative - the registration fee ($ 10.13).
Keep a list
Books of the tabs you should promptly transferred to a separate list, which is to conduct convenient using Trello cards or any other similar service. In this case, a list of books you want to read, conveniently divided into two columns - for example, "By reading!" And "Reserve".
The first section includes the book you want to read in the near future, and in the "reserve" to submit the product whose time has not come yet. And every time you go to a bookstore, browse the list of "essential reading" in order to know exactly what to buy.
Read
There are people who read two, three, or even five (!) Books at a time. It is difficult to imagine what a mess going on at the same time in their heads, how many heroes names and storylines they have to remember not to lose the thread of the narrative.
Therefore, if you want to read productively and with pleasure, get yourself to the rule: not read more than one book at a time and always finish before the end. Close novel on page 20 and clean it back on the shelf - a common mistake many people, as the "salt" of certain works is felt only in the final. For example, "Writing Box" Pavic initially seems complete turmoil.
memorize read
If you have read hundreds of books, but none of you have learned nothing, consider that you have never read nothing.
Read thoughtfully need, squeezing out every page of useful information. To do this, try to take notes (yes, like in school) is discharged from the books of wise thoughts, the rooms most interesting pages of names and dates, which are considered important.
If you are not a fan of paper, then keep reading, you can digest in the same Evernote. Then, your notes will be available to you at any time and in any place.
Book notes not only helps to better remember the content, but also at any time to show off your favorite quote of the author.
