...Even though not everyone could read just sixty years ago, 4<\/a> now reading has become a skill similar to eating. Maybe even at this moment you are eating and reading?<\/p>\n I set a goal for one year read 75 books a year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I read 77: <\/strong>long, short, scientific, poetic, funny and heartbreaking. I read every week. Practically every other day.<\/p>\n And I've learnt this...<\/p>\n The first challenge was in 2016 - to read 50 books. I read 58 that year. The challenge you are reading about here is from 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n Later in 2018, the challenge was to read 200 books and I only read about 49 of them. 5<\/a> The following year, I didn't have the challenge at all because I got depressed and didn't want to read anymore. And in 2020, already after the depression, I still haven't renewed the book challenge.<\/p>\n [tcb-script] jQuery(function($){ $(window).scroll(function(e){ scrollTimeOut = true; if ($('#orodykle').length){ if($(window).scrollTop() + window.innerHeight > $('1TP6Pointer').offset().top) { setTimeout(function(){ $('1TP6Pointer').addClass('onscreen'); }, 750); } } }); } ); [\/tcb-script] <\/p>\n And why are you reading these letters? And you live?<\/p>\n Do you think I'm so demented as to read something that doesn't bring pleasure?<\/span><\/p>\n Me. And to a few more of my friends, with whom I participate in book reading games<\/a> and we compare the lengths of our bookshelves.<\/p>\n I could But I didn't want to. I'm not interested in traveling or rescuing kittens, I'd rather read books to learn something and then share.<\/p>\n Because reading is more fun for me. Also, it's easier to skip the uninteresting parts while reading, and bad acting in books doesn't exist.<\/p>\n No, although I have read a book about this science, 6<\/a> I never managed to learn it. But as I read, I gradually learned to read faster and memorize better.<\/p>\n Aha, just a lot to read. You won't put this secret under a catchy headline on a news portal, 7<\/a> but that's all there is to the mystery.<\/p>\n Partially. I read practically all of Eridan's fantasy books as a child, but I spent my teenage years playing video games and my early adulthood in the arms of girls. 8<\/a><\/p>\n No. I will continue to read, but the goals will be different - not quantity, but content.<\/p>\n No, I'm just learning to write shorter.<\/p>\n Something like this: 9<\/a><\/p>\n The year, as always with challenges, started with a bang. Seven books in two weeks! ...Then followed long months of slow reading, until in October I realised that I had to try harder.<\/p>\n October was probably the most interesting month - 29 books in it.<\/p>\n About one a day. That month I read everywhere - in the toilet, in the kitchen, on the bed, next to the bed, by the wardrobe, in the park, in the shops, waiting for the bus... It was a total book frenzy.<\/p>\n But I'm done! At the end of the year, I read a few more books that I hadn't finished reading since 2013.<\/p>\n I set a goal of 75 books and reached this one on October 31st:<\/p>\n I am quite satisfied. The knowledge gained from reading books helps me to work in my profession - writing. It's good for me.<\/p>\n But let me share some tips.<\/p>\n For example, to my knowledge, Marijonas Mikutavi\u010dius<\/strong> almost no longer reads books. 10<\/a> Does this mean that he is a bad person, untalented, or something else? No. It just means he doesn't read books.<\/p>\n ...And my friend Valtininkas says that it is better to read before you start - understand what the hell you are reading<\/a>. I agree with that.<\/p>\n In short, what I'm saying:<\/p>\n If you don't want to, don't read it.<\/p>\n And if you want to read, but don't know what:<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoy! \ud83e\udd13<\/p>\n With a goal, it is always clearer what you are aiming for, which helps you not to stop.<\/p>\n P.S <\/strong>This is my first time making such a video. 11<\/a> So, if you have comments and criticisms - I'm happy to wait. 12<\/a><\/p>\n How that in this In the 24 hour reading challenge<\/strong><\/a> (aha, I tried to read without sleep, around the clock), which I put together with @lithuanianpoetrylover<\/a>.<\/p>\n [tcb-script src=\u201dhttps:\/\/snapwidget.com\/js\/snapwidget.js\u201d][\/tcb-script]<\/p>\n <\/strong>...How about you? Will you join the reading challenge? \ud83d\udcda<\/strong><\/p>\nRenewed!<\/h3>\n
Some of the most common questions and my answers to them:<\/h2>\n
"<\/em>Why?'<\/h4>\n
"But reading is for enjoyment, isn't it?"<\/h4>\n
"But who cares about that amount of books?"<\/h4>\n
"Couldn't you have made better use of the time?"<\/h4>\n
"Why not movies or series?"<\/h4>\n
"Are you doing speed reading?"<\/h4>\n
\"The best way to learn to read a lot is...?\"<\/h4>\n
"You must have always read a lot?"<\/h4>\n
"So now you've paid for two years and won't read again?"<\/h4>\n
"Are you angry today?"<\/h4>\n
So how did reading books go in 2016? What did you experience?<\/h2>\n

"How can I read more books?" Can it be learned?'<\/h2>\n
