Two Ways to Read Books
One way is to increase knowledge and the other way is to simply enjoy reading
I started writing and reading habits.
During my reading journey, I realized I can read books in two ways.
Increase knowledge
Reading helps to expand my knowledge base. I have to read many books in less time to keep up the writing momentum.
For this, I started reading the book summary. It is effective in many ways.
- I can get the main points in less than 15 minutes
- I can read more books in less time
- It motivates me to read more books
Casual reading
My physical book collection has a special place in my heart. There is magic in turning over the pages, feeling the book cover, and watching the books sitting on my bookshelf.
I don’t buy these books to read quickly and record the main points. I treasure my time with these books.
I have purchased the book Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living by Linnea Dunne.
After completing two pages, I again visit the same pages and read them. I have barely completed ten pages in the last seven days. I have intentionally started reading slowly to taste the flavor of Swedish living through these pages.
It is a magical feeling to read this way.
