As I sat on my cozy couch with a novel – which was on my bucket list for a long time – I was very excited to try out my new pair of reading glasses. I had gone on a hunt for a perfect pair of rimless glasses for men and finally arrived at one over the online medium. In my personal opinion, there is something about rimless glasses that make it an ideal pair of reading glasses – maybe their sophisticated appearance.
To my surprise, that evening, I ended up reading till the time the dinner was ready. I have to thank the excitement that came along with my new pair of reading glasses, for achieving this feat.
I have been an avid reader since childhood. I am still going strong in my 40s. No matter how passionate a reader you are, there will be times when it might get a little monotonous. To spice up things, I have experimented with certain things which has made my reading experience much more fun.
In this write up, I would love to share with you ways in which you can make your reading much more interesting.
Set Practical Goals
Setting goals is a must have reading habit. But please avoid going overboard with your reading goals. Assign goals that are achievable.
Setting goals which are not achievable will only add extra burden. Reading, which is supposed to be a fun activity, will no longer remain so.
Make it a Challenging Activity
Setting goals that are practical doesn’t mean you avoid moving out of your comfort zone. Join a community which conducts challenges. You can also take your friends along and add a layer of fun to your reading by making it challenging.
Buy a pair of Reading Glasses
Reading glasses not only facilitate a longer reading time but also protect your eyes from eye strains, a common complaint among the readers these days. And added to these benefits, is the style element that it brings to your reading.
If you prefer reading over digital screens, you should definitely gift yourself a blue light blocking glasses.
Great reading glasses for men and women are available over the online medium. Don’t hesitate to look up there. And remember to inform yourself with the latest glasses frames in the UK before making that much needed purchase.
A Calm and Soothing Environment
Reading is an activity which demands your full attention, provided you want to make the most out of it. So, set yourself in an environment that is peaceful and where external noise and disturbances are absent.
Personally, I prefer reading early in the morning. When the sun has not yet risen, the majority are still in bed whereas I am totally engrossed in my book, all I find is peace.
Experiment with multiple Genres
Be a versatile reader. Have you ever tried moving beyond just fiction or any genre you have limited yourself to? At least, give it a try! Who knows you might find something better.
It’s okay to not like a particular genre, but as a reader you should definitely get a taste of multiple genres to get an idea of your likes and dislikes. And I can guarantee you that you will end up loving something that you had never tried.
To avoid monotony, you can also go for two different genres at a time. However, be careful here as you might get mixed up with different contents.
Join a Book Club
The book club culture is flourishing at a really fast pace. Why should you stay behind? Book clubs are a wonderful space to interact with fellow readers and exchange ideas.
You can get amazing ideas for your reading lists at these book clubs and forge friendships of lifetime.
