Borrowed from Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse’s book ” Timeless Illustrations “
- Talk less
- Carry the book in your bag.
- Put a copy under your pillow at night; if you can’t sleep, read.
- Wake up 15 minutes earlier every morning and read.
- Keep a copy handy to pick up while in the kitchen, dressing, or on the telephone. ( This may seem rude but, hey! )
- Have your copy ready when meeting unpunctual people.
- Take your own copy along when going to the dentist, doctor, or lawyer. Why read their old magazines?
- Keep a copy in your car in case of traffic jams or a wait for repairs.
- Never go on a journey without your book; you might not like your seatmate.
- Remember that a book in the hand is worth two in the bookcase.
Dr. Barnhouse originally borrowed this from Boston Globe writer Lydia Roberts and her article ” How to Get Time to Read a Book “.
