10 Rules on how to read a book

1. Remove distractions as far as you can (windows, food, the phones, etc)
2. Maintain silence as best you can (find a library if you need to)
3. Make sure there is enough light (use glasses if necessary)
4. Get the book flat and the right distance from your eyes
5. Sit comfortably, making sure you are warm but not too warm
6. Give yourself a target (number of pages, a chapter or a set period of time)
7. Aim to get from the end of one line to the start of the next with minimum eye movement (when reading on a kindle choose the narrowest setting for text)
8. Concentrate
9. Underline or make notes
10. Take a breather after a set time
