I was reading one of Steve's articles and he mentioned that he aims to read a book a week. This sounds awesome since I have bought a ton of books, all which I have yet to read. There are the interesting (48 laws of power, 33 strategies of war) the boring but integral (ask and it is given, what smart students know, think and grow rich), and the pleasure reading (freakonomics, ian fleming). I know that the obvious answer to the question is: open the book and read it.. right? Well not for me, I'm having difficulty finding the time and motivation to read books. Usually any free time that I have when I'm home is spent on the internet. And if I do find time for guilt free reading, I usually read Robert Greene's books (the first category) since I'm a sucker for the historical stories within them. Books that have information I want to learn and harness like
Ask and it is given I usually can't get past the first few pages because I don't get involved into the book. Don't get me wrong I don't mean to detract from the book, but it's not exactly a page turner like John Grisham's stuff.
Any tips for me in this regard?
