7 Pieces of advice for readers from the book "The Reading Life" by C.S. Lewis

THREAD/

1) Don't get caught up in the publicity of new books. New doesn't necessarily mean better.

2) The more up to date a book is, the sooner it will become dated.

3) Reread your favorite books at least once every 10 years.

4) Feel free to skip freely when you're reading a chapter that isn't providing value to you.

5) Our love for books is as diverse as our love for people. Don't be offended when someone reads a book and doesn't love it as much as you do.

6) The only thing as good as reading a book is talking about it. Have discussions, and even arguments, about what you're reading.

7) Reading is not a passive activity, it's an active hobby. While reading a book, underline key passages, jot down notes, and map what you've learned to books you've read in the past.
