This person asked how to read two books a week - that is fairly simple - start reading two books a week! It might be difficult for the first week.
But one of the things you need to keep in mind. A novel - if we take a novel as an example - it should be read in one, two or maybe three days - not more!
You should not take more than two - maybe three days - to read one novel through.
If you can do it in one day. Perfect! If you need an hour a day - for maybe two or three days. Perfect! Reading a book through in two, three, maybe four hours. That is okay!
But you should not be taking more than two to three days to read a novel through.
Don't take seven days. Don't take 15 days. Don't take 30 days - to read the novel through!
If you think about it. A good book can easily be translated and transformed into a motion picture - a movie - with a good scriptwriter or director at the helm.
Easily transformed into a two to three-hour movie.
Would you ever watch that movie with the same mentality? I am going to watch that movie for the next seven days - or next fifteen days.
I am going to watch maybe three minutes of that movie today. Watch four minutes tomorrow. Watch five minutes the day after that.
I only have two minutes the day after that, but I am going to use seven minutes the day after that. Would you ever watch that movie with that mentality?
Absolutely not! So why would you do it with a book?
If we would watch the movie in that way. On what day - the fourth or fifth or sixth day - would we be wondering - how did the movie start?
So we would need to watch the movie again from the beginning - to be able to remember all the things we might have missed - because we are taking so long watching the movie.
We would not do that because we know the movie only takes two or three hours - so we just watch it in one go. No problem!
When you know how to read. You don't need more than two, three, maybe four hours to read a novel through to the end.
So why would you use more than one, two, maybe three days. One hour a day - 90 minutes per day - for two-three days. And you can easily finish a book in that time.
So you have just read a book in three days - you now have four more days in the week. You can easily take one day off. But then read book number two.
So you can easily go and read two books a week. And you should definitely do that.
Keep in mind. There was a 9-year-old who came to my course. She was reading fairly quickly when she started the course. But when she finished the three-week course.
She was reading three novels a week. 9 years old - and she was reading three novels a week. So you can easily read two novels - or two books a week!
