Hello guys, my name is Krushnal Patil, and welcome back to my new blog post. In today’s blog post I am going to tell you How you should start reading books if you haven’t started yet.

So guys without wasting time let’s jump into today’s topic……

Need of Reading

What is the need for reading? Before starting reading you should ask yourself that what is need for reading. This is because until and unless your why is not clear, you will not be able to read effectively.

My need for reading was gaining knowledge, exploring new things, gaining experience, it trains our brains, etc.

You might know that all leaders are readers. This is the best way to get knowledge. Many successful people read for hours a day like Warren Buffett, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates. etc. They all read today also after being successful.

Reading books makes you wonderful. So I recommend you to start reading books. It will separate you from the rest of the peoples.

What you should read?

You should read the books on the topics on which you want to work, which motivates you, which inspires you, which makes you creative.

How should you start reading books?

You should start reading books on Speed reading initially. This will help you a lot. As there is a lot of material available and also daily new stuff is published, so you should learn speed reading. This will make you faster in reading and also your comprehension will also grow.

I also read a lot of books on speed reading initially like

1.Speed Reading: How to Double (or Triple) Your Reading Speed in Just 1 Hour! by Justin Hammond,

2.The Speed Reading Book by Tony Buzan,

3.Speed Reading: The Comprehensive Guide To Speed Reading — Increase Your Reading Speed By 300% Using: Speed Reading Techniques, Reading Comprehension Techniques, And Accelerated Learning Techniques by Nathan Armstrong,

4.The Evelyn Wood Seven-Day Speed Reading and Learning Program by Stanley D. Frank, Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics,

5.10 Days to Faster Reading: Jump-Start Your Reading Skills with Speed reading by The Princeton Language Institute.

I recommend you to read these books first, these books will develop your reading skills.

Which was the first book that read?

The first book that I started was “The Wings Of Fire” when I was in 7th grade, But because of a lack of attention and reading skills, I was not able to complete it.

Then in class 10th again I start reading books. Now I took I short book and started reading it. The first book which I completed was Brain Tracy’s “Eat That Frog” which was based on procrastination.

When I figured out that I lack reading skills, then I started reading books on Speed Reading.

My tips on reading

1.The first book took me 27 days to read which was about 120 pages. I want to tell you that if you are not comfortable reading 30–40 pages a day, then start with a small step. All you do is just start.

I was reading 4.44 pages in just a day. But today I read 75–100 pages a day. You too can do it. It is too easy. My reading speed is 400–500 words per minute.

2.Never stop reading. Read consistently.

Tools for book reading

I will recommend to you, 2 tools for book reading.

  1. Goodreads- This is available as an application and also on the website. On this website, you can arrange your books on shelves. You mark them as read, Currently Reading, or Want to read. It has all books on it.
  2. z-lib.org- This is the world’s largest e-library. You find here most of the books that you want. You can download books for free from here.

I download books from here because I don’t have money to buy any books. So you also can use it.

So guys this was for today’s blog post. I hope you loved it and I am damn sure that you will start reading books If you haven’t yet.

I will meet in very next blog, till the time take care and have a nice day……
