Austin Kleon - "Carry a book with you at all times!"

Jeg har skrevet det før, men at modtage Austin Kleons nyhedsbrev på mail hver uge er sådan en vidunderlig gave. Og så er det ganske gratis. What´s not to like?

I denne uge nævner han en liste med de bøger, der gjorde størst indtryk på ham i 2014. Der er også en liste med årets bedste plader. Eller dem, der gjorde personligt indtryk.

Og så er der gode råd til at få læst mere i 2015. Se bare her:
"I read 70+ books this year, a new personal record. If you’re interested in reading more, here’s what I recommend:

1. Throw your phone in the ocean. (Or, keep it in airplane mode.)
2. Carry a book with you at all times.
3. Have another book ready before you finish the one you’re reading. (Make a stack of books to-read or load up your eReader.)
4. If you aren’t enjoying a book or learning from it, stop reading it immediately. (Flinging it across the room helps give closure.)
5. Schedule 1 hour of non-fiction reading during the day. (Commutes, lunch breaks, and any contained period of idle time work well.)
6. Go to bed 1 hour early and read fiction. (It will help you sleep.)
7. Keep a reading log and share your favorite books with others. (They will send you even more books to read.)"

PS: Hvis du endnu ikke har læst: "Steal like an artist" og "Show your work" er det et godt sted at begynde årets læsning.
