Read better.

Most reading advice repeats the same three lines: read before bed, join a book club, carry a book with you. That advice doesn’t explain why people who already know it still read fewer than five books a year. The guides in this section deal with the actual mechanics instead: how to choose books you’ll finish, how to build a library you’ll use rather than one that collects dust, and how to run a book club that survives past its third meeting.

Topics are organized by what you’re trying to solve: reading strategy, recommendations by mood or season, book club logistics, home library building, and literary events worth knowing about. Pick the one that matches your current problem.
