Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Before everybody starts giving me thumbs downs on this please read to the end!. Cheat!. Go to your library and see what they have on CD!. Obviously you can read and write when required to!. You just can't find the time or the inclination to pick up a book!. No problem IMO, just listen!. You will become more cultured and be exposed to new ideas and possibilities!. Is it as satisfying as opening a book and actually reading!? It can be, but the voice can only convey so much-scientific diagrams, photographs and other aids in visualizing the author's concepts will be missing!. The rules are simple: 1!. Get only books that are unabridged!. 2!. Get books that might be interesting!. 3!. Actually listen to the books- I find this easy to do on my commute to work!. Good readers to listen to might be trickier!. Scott Brick, George Godell and Micheal Cramer are all pretty good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com A few things you might want to try: 1!. Get shorter books!. Go to the teen section of your local library, get a book that looks easy to read, short, and funny!. Something you're very likely to enjoy!. Give that a try and work up from there!. Once you get into "reading mode" I think you'll find it easier to concentrate on longer books and deeper plots!. Even avid readers need to step back every once in a while and reading something easy and light!. 2!. Try audiobooks!. They're amazing, really!. I've listened to many and as long as the narrator is good, it's just as enjoyable as reading the book oneself!. I don't know what sort of books or genres you might be interested in, but again I recommend trying something short and light!. Your library should have an audiobook section!. 3!. Give graphic novels a try!. I don't know how old you are, so I'm not sure what to recommend, but I think you'll find most libraries and book stores have pretty extensive manga sections these days!. There is manga for all ages, and types of people!. I personally am not a big fan of that medium, but some graphic novels I really enjoyed a lot were the Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman!. They're for a mature audience though so I'm not sure if I'd recommend them to you since I don't know how old you are - I'd say they're for 15 and up (at youngest)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Have you tried reading many different kinds of books!? maybe you haven't found a kind that you like yet!? Possibly there is some author out there who might kindle your interest, if you could find the right book!. have you tried Anthony Horowitz!? he is a very popular writer of adventure stories which particularly appeal to teenage boys!? Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' novels are very popular with some people who like fantasy, you might try those!. The first one is The Colour of Magic!. or have you tried reading non-fiction!? If you like sport, perhaps the autobiography of a sports personality you like!? If you really can't settle down to read something, you might try listening to an audiobook instead, perhaps while you are in bed or something (I find them very relaxing to listen to while I am trying to get to sleep), or if you are travelling somewhere!. They usually have them in libraries nowadays!. However, if you really find reading boring, there's no real reason why you should force yourself to do it, unless you absolutely have to for school or something!. I love reading, but I don't think there is any particular virtue in reading rather than doing something else!. All the things you like to do sound nice to me, why not go running or swimming or watch a movie instead of read!? Don't worry about it!. My sons don't read much either, and they're all quite happy!. enjoy doing the things you enjoy doing!. Life is too short to try and make yourself do something you don't really want to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have the same problem!. My parent's get really mad at me but I can't read books!. I can read things I find on the internet and I am very smart (4!.0)!. I really like the medical information and stuff like that and I like reading peoples opinions so I try to find books that include those things!. You just have to find something you are really intrested in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I was like that!. But then my unlce bought me the first harry potter book!. so i started reading it and i found it good so i keep on reading!. and from that day on i love to read!. All 7 harry potter books are really good!. maybe you should try reading that!. i also like narnia and the twilight booksWww@QuestionHome@Com You have to find a book you'd enjoy! Read before bed, then you can't be distracted by anything else!. Use google or yahoo answers to find some books that suit your interests!. There are tons! You'll be fine!. :DWww@QuestionHome@Com Apparently you can write!.Www@QuestionHome@Com you said that rather than read you go running or swimming!?!? if your a sports fan try reading an autobiography of one of your fave sports stars!?!? just an ideaWww@QuestionHome@Com break through the boring parts just keep going and eventually youll get into it much like watching a movie just stick with it and youll find u will get into itWww@QuestionHome@Com hmm!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I guess bring a book to the library with you!. A lot of people use the bathroom that way!. Just a thought!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
