Some great figures in history are also great readers. Chairman Mao of the People Republic of China even read in bed before his final hours in life. I translate what he once said about the importance of reading, “If persistent, why must we sleep late or get early? Most futile is reading by fits and starts. ”

My friend always quotes Lemony Snicket on this one “Never trust a person who hasn’t brought a book with them.”

You never know when you may end up in a waiting room, post office, DMV, or behind an unexpected traffic accident.

You set up what books you want to read and they will break them down into however long you want to spend reading and email them out to you each day. (Also good for printing out and taking to the can)

I assume you need to understand at least some of the language your listening to, to get anything out of it. Does it help learn the other language?

And Victor, no problem at all. I’m glad I could help and add some links for you!

1) Plan for it: Write in your schedule “11.30 pm – Read; 12 am – Sleep”.

2) Listen to an audio book (Cases of Sherlock Holmes) in German, miss lots due to limited understanding of the language, and then read the textual book in English. In that way, you will be more focused because you want to fill in the gaps, and can read faster.

3) Put any book in the bag wherever you go. Just whip it out and read when waiting or commuting.

4) Read the newspapers while eating breakfast.
