【题目】How to Form a Positive Reading Habit
Books are a source of joy, learning, insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 【1】
Give old favorites a re-read
There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 【2】 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.
Learn something new
If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favorites have in common.【3】 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of non-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.
【4】
Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do — try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.
Give yourself permission to move on
Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 【5】. The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.
A.Get social
B.Set up a book club
C.There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all
D.Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life
E.Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader
F.Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories
G.A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme
