How To Appreciate Literature

1 post in this topic

How do you get the most out of reading a book? 

Basically I would like a video that explains how to develop an ability to read skillfully, efficiently and consciously. This might include patterns that are useful to become aware of while you read, what to pay attention to in yourself and in the book, and how to separate high quality literature from low quality literature. What are some practical ways to improve your reading skills? How do you read faster? How do you memorize what you read? How do you learn from it? How do you develop a reading habit? How do you find joy in reading books? Should you read both fiction and nonfiction? What about audiobooks? 

I believe more and more people, especially younger people, watch YouTube or Netflix instead of reading books because it's less effort. Some may argue that videos and films are more engaging (combining images, music, sounds, text, etc.) and therefore have a higher educational value as well as entertainment value. How are books superior? Why should you read books at all?
