The quote by Ralph Waldo rings true..if you want to know what a person is like..see the books he/she reads. But most often than not we all complaint about the lack of time to read a good book due to our hectic schedules all year long. An avid reader myself, I have often found myself caught in this exact situation, along the way I have learnt some tips to still be able to read.
Here I hope to share some tips on how to squeeze in that good read you've been meaning to get your hands on but just have not had the time to do so...
1. Aim to read at least 2 chapters each night before you sleep and in no time you would have reached the end of the book, satisfied..IKEA has some really good bed night lamps for this purpose :)
2. Public transport user? Why not carry a book in hand and do some reading in between those "people watching" activities...guilty as charged!

Pack a sandwich or grab a sandwich along the way to work, make yourself a good cuppa, enjoy your book while eating away your sandwich..this is a two in one benefit, you get to burn those calories (not eating heavy lunches) while managing to read your book!
