Of all the variety of books that are sold in stores, exhibited at book fairs or are in libraries, it is not so easy to choose a book to read. After all, the choice of books is too large, and there is not so much time for quiet reading, as always.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a book to read, you need to think about which literature you like the most. Maybe you enjoy reading modern prose or classics, detective stories, romantic stories or historical novels. Most likely, there are even several such favorite genres, but then you should choose the one that you would like to occupy your leisure time in the near future.
Step 2
Now it is worth choosing a book from those that you are looking for by genre. In a library or bookstore, you should not overlook the annotation to the book, it will best show whether you like the work or not, because the first impression plays a big role. In addition, it is the abstract that tells about the author's idea, you may immediately like his idea or you may find it not too successful to spend money and time reading such a book.
Step 3
If you like the abstract, select a place in the book and read it. You can even start from the first page. This will give a good idea of the author's style and language and, along with the annotation, will show what to expect from the work. If the author was able to captivate from the first page, most likely, you will also like the whole work.
Step 4
Readers' reviews or their brief reviews are also of great importance when choosing a book. You can ask your friends who are familiar with the work, read reviews on sites dedicated to reading lovers and books of different genres. Most of these reviews are very helpful for someone looking for a good book.
Step 5
Websites for reading lovers are also useful as a good hint: they talk about new books or those that readers definitely need to get acquainted with. You can follow new posts and recommendations not only on individual sites, but also in numerous groups of social networks. Just choose the one you like best.
Step 6
You should not neglect the lists of books, because you can learn a lot of interesting things from them. For example, recall those works that you have long wanted to read, but did not have time for them, or interesting books that are worth getting to know better. Such lists can be found on the same sites or in reading groups.
Step 7
Make your own lists with works of interest to you. They need to be small enough to be feasible. These lists will help you remember which works you still need to read, as well as which books you have already read. When there is such a clear and simple reading plan, there is an incentive to replenish this list with new and already read works.
