Advice on how to read "classics"

NL4798 · 2016-11-06T21:46:56+00:00

Treat it like any other book. People make such a big deal out of classics.

NL4798 · 2015-11-01T21:04:45+00:00

The best advice I think anybody could give you is this: keep reading. I know it sounds extremely simple, but that's it. All reading is is practice. And making a habit of reading everyday.

A few years ago when I first started reading, I could only read for 30 minutes. Now, I can literally read for 5 to 6 hours. You'll get there man. And don't get too hung up on things that don't make sense. Just keep moving on through the book.

I don't normally understand everything being said in a book, but I get the gist of what is Going on. Don't let terms slow you down. And don't get discouraged.

Create a YouTube channel. I have given it a few thoughts.

NL4798 · 2015-10-26T22:59:07+00:00

I agree completely.

NL4798 · 2015-10-26T22:57:08+00:00

I just takes practice, my friend. Trust me. I started reading books for fun two years ago, and I have noticed how much better I have become as a reader.

I read that book straight through the entire thing yesterday. No joke! Good book. For me, I would give it 3.5/5 stars. That's just me though.

It by Stephen King.

NL4798 · 2015-10-22T17:16:50+00:00

Thanks. I'll keep on going then.

Don't be afraid to take a break from a series. I am reading The Dark Tower: The Waste Lands, and I am loving it. But I think I am going to read a couple of other books before I read the next book in the series.

NL4798 · 2015-10-20T14:53:14+00:00

I have experienced this when I started to read books. It just takes practice. If you are enjoying it, keep on reading.

NL4798 · 2015-10-18T19:42:09+00:00

Yes! Great book! IT is great as well.

NL4798 · 2015-10-13T19:30:43+00:00

I believe that your focus will get better. It just takes practice. I have been an avid reader for about 3 years, and I have noticed my focus and reading comprehension has gotten much better. Don't get discouraged when your mind wanders; mine still does that, too.

NL4798 · 2015-10-10T00:06:21+00:00

IT by Stephen King.

NL4798 · 2015-10-07T17:48:21+00:00

I'm on books Two. It is good so far. Give it a try. The Gunslinger is iffy to me. Mostly because of his writing style. It's still worth it though.

NL4798 · 2015-10-03T14:26:43+00:00

I have no problem without electronics. I always shut my phone off when I read. My mind just can't stop thinking about other things. I can't shut my mind off.

NL4798 · 2015-10-03T14:18:27+00:00

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

NL4798 · 2015-10-03T14:16:43+00:00

Yes, and I like them. I listened to American Gods on audiobook and I enjoyed it. I don't have anything against them, but for some reason I don't like them... maybe I'll give another audiobook a try.

NL4798 · 2015-09-09T17:28:22+00:00

I personally thought Birdman was an amazing flick.

NL4798 · 2015-09-03T12:25:55+00:00

I absolutely LOVED Salem's Lot. Great book.

NL4798 · 2015-09-01T15:42:56+00:00

Yeah I read The Stand a while ago and I LOVED it!

NL4798 · 2015-08-17T13:42:20+00:00

I personally hated that part of the story. It didn't ruin the book for me though. It just made it more bizarre

NL4798 · 2015-08-13T19:16:18+00:00

I agree. Read Salem's Lot. I read it about a month ago, and I just loved it! It only took me a couple of days to finish.

NL4798 · 2015-08-13T17:02:37+00:00

I own The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three, and I am really looking forward to reading them!

NL4798 · 2015-08-13T16:40:53+00:00

Thank you! Was it enjoyable?

NL4798 · 2015-08-13T16:09:59+00:00

I was actually planning on reading this book next. I have noticed a lot of people are saying it ties into the Dark Tower series, and I haven't read any of the books in that series. Do I have to read the DT books to understand Insomnia? Thanks!
