I don't know if I just suffer from some kind of attention problem or if I can't stick with longer novels like I used to, but I've found increasingly that I have trouble finishing books. The ones I'm having the least trouble with are actually non-fantasy books. I want to work through a lot of books I've had on my Kindle for a while.
I'd like some tips on reading faster if possible. I know the easier answer is "pick books you like," but even books I like I have trouble getting through sometimes. It may have to do with reading books on Kindle. I have so many to read, I guess I'm getting overwhelmed.
One thing I'm doing is only choosing four books a month that I can read at any given time. This allows me to jump around in order to help my attention problem, but limits the amount I have to chose from. Another thing I'm doing now is having "Weekend Samples." Meaning any sample books I have backlogged on my Kindle, I'll read through. If I like them, I'll put them in a "Buy Later" group. If I don't like them, I delete them. I think this may help me in making purchasing choices in the future.
If any fast readers have any other tips (where to read, when to read, etc.) let me know as I really want to put a dent in my To Be Read pile, but at the same time I don't want to keep abandoning books that I actually enjoy.
