Are You Reading Enough?

We've all seen the title under someone's name: Book Reviewer. What is that? How do they get paid to do something they love and what are the benefits? If you love to read, how can you start working as a book reviewer?

Obviously, Reading Books provides you with new knowledge. Whenever you read something, you learn new information that you otherwise would not have known.





I love those community-type bookstores (I don't think there's really a term such as that but that's how I perceive them). You know the kind of bookstores you can find along the street which those who are not really book lovers wouldn't dare notice. These kind of bookstores could give you that homey, welcoming feeling, like as if you are just reading a good piece inside the comforts of your own abode. And if you're being too engrossed with your reading, you can also add a cup of coffee to make your reading moment a real relaxing one.

One of the things you can do is read aloud stories to your young children. You can set aside a fixed time everyday which is convenient for all. This time will serve as a family union time where parents will read aloud some story for a few minutes while the kids listen. Then you can ask one of the kids to read for Books to read this year a few minutes.

Choose educational books for your child can relate concepts. For example, if the book is about animals, tell them that sound emitted by each species. This way your dog does understand that "wow, wow", the cat "meow, meow" etc.

We started homeschooling them with Sonlight Curriculum. Subsequently, I supplemented it with Jim Trelease Read Aloud Handbook. When they were in high school, I included some resources from The Well Trained Mind as well as the various literature and "reading lists for the college bound that I found online.

Point is, you have to find your "personal" life changing book yourself. The only way to do that, is to start reading good management books. So, what are you waiting for? Start today! Please let me know when you have found your life changing book, I am curious.
