如何養(yǎng)成良好的閱讀習慣？

1. Always carry a book

總是帶著一本書

Wherever you go, take a book with you. When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my drivers license, my keys and my book, at a minimum. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go, unless I know I definitely won’t be reading (like at a movie). If there is a time when you have to wait (like at a doctor’s office or at the DMV), whip out your book and read. Great way to pass the time.

無論你去哪，帶上一本書。當我離開家，我總是要確認我至少帶了我的駕駛證，我的鑰匙和我的書。我的書放在車里和歐文呆在一起，，并且我將她帶進辦公室，帶去約會以及很多其他我要去的地方，除非我知道我一定不會閱讀(像是看電影)。如果你需要等待一段時間(像是去看醫(yī)生或是在車管局)，打開你的書并且閱讀。這是一個消磨時間的好方法。

2. Make a list

列一個清單

Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in your journal, in a pocket notebook, on your personal home page, on your personal wiki, wherever. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book, online or in person. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you read. Tech trick: create a Gmail account for your book list, and email the address every time you hear about a good book. Now your inbox will be your reading list. When you’ve read a book, file it under “Done”. If you want, you can even reply to the message (to the same address) with notes about the book, and those will be in the same conversation thread, so now your Gmail account is your reading log too.

列出所有你想讀的好書。你可以在旅行的時候帶上它，寫在一個口袋筆記本里，在你的個人主頁上，個人wiki百科上，任何地方都可以。一有了好書信息，就把它記在上面，不管是從網(wǎng)上得知，還是從別人那里了解到。保持列表的及時更新，并把讀過的劃掉。高科技手段：創(chuàng)建一個gmail帳戶用作讀書列表，每次聽到好書信息，就發(fā)給它個郵件?，F(xiàn)在你的收件箱就是你的讀書列表啦!讀完一本就把它移到“完成”文件夾。如果愿意，你甚至可以用讀書筆記來回復(fù)該郵件(到相同的地址，即自己給自己回信)，這樣就使本書的相關(guān)內(nèi)容只出現(xiàn)在同一郵件主題中，因此，現(xiàn)在你的Gmail帳戶也是你的讀書日志了。

There should be no television or computer near the chair tominimize distractions, and no music or noisy family members/roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.

在你家找一個可以讓你坐在一把舒服的椅子里的地方(不要躺下來除非你打算睡覺)拿本好書倚在椅子上，不受任何干擾。為避免分心，應(yīng)該遠離電視，電腦，音樂，喧鬧的家人或室友。如果你沒有這樣的地方，創(chuàng)造一個。

5. Blog it

做記錄

One of the best ways to form a habit is to put it on your blog. If you don’t have one, create one. It’s free. Have your family go there and give you book suggestions and comment on the ones you’re reading. It keeps youaccountable for your goals.

和讀書列表類似，此記錄不應(yīng)該只寫下你所讀的書的書名和作者，如果可能的話還應(yīng)該寫下讀書的起止日期。更好的作法是在其后寫下你對此書的感想。幾個月之后，再返回來看記錄，回顧自己的閱讀經(jīng)歷，是一種極大的滿足。

設(shè)定一小時或一天的讀書時間

If you turn off the TV or Internet in the evening, you could have a set hour (perhaps just after dinner) when you and maybe all the members of your family read each night. Or you could do a reading day, when you (and again, your other family members if you can get them to join you) read for practically the whole day. It’s super fun.

如果你在晚上關(guān)了電視和電腦，你和所有的家庭成員就能抽出一小時(可能是晚餐過后)的閱讀時間?；蛘吣阋部梢猿槌鲆徽斓臅r間來閱讀，如果能召集所有家庭成員一起讀的話不妨一起讀。這是很有趣的。
