Clearing about your reading purpose can not only help you choose the books you really need to read， but also remind you why reading the book is important to you， so you will keep reading and complete the book faster.

Read only what you are interested in

No matter what you are reading， it is important to enjoy what you read. Your friends may tell you the books they love， but those books might not necessarily be the ones you enjoy.

Give up the books that you don’t enjoy

You may have chosen books that you are interested in， and they are right to your purpose. But while you are reading them， there may still be some books that you don’t enjoy reading. Whenever you realize that you aren’t enjoying the book you are reading， give it up. Remember reading shouldn’t be a chore （令人厌烦的任务）.

Set a reading goal
