Find a book.Look in the library or in one of the larger bookstores. You could also ask friends if you could check out their bookshelves. Search the shelves until you find a book that looks good.Read the first page to see how it reads, and the cover text at the back of the book if it has any.If you find yourself already engrossed(全神贯注的), then buy it or check it out.
Buy or borrow it and take it home.Do not start to read it until you have the time.If you have to rush reading, because you have to do homework, or prepare dinner, it is best to wait until you are done.Set aside time to do nothing else but read, as it can be at times suspenseful, exciting and relaxing.
Settle into a comfortable chair or couch.Have a lamp on the back of you, lighting the area where you are reading.So that you do not have to get up soon after starting to read, make sure you have brought coffee，candy, popcorn, or any other refreshments you might want to have.Make sure the television is off and anything that could distract you is attended to.Take the phone off the hook, put earplugs in or ear defenders on.Get warm if you're going to be sitting still for a few hours.
Be calm and alert.You should be alert and your mind should be calm before you begin to read.Otherwise, your mind will wander.
Start the book by turning the pages.Do not think about anything else, but what you're reading.Put yourself into the action or location within the story.Once you get totally engrossed, it will be difficult to put the book down.
Read and really enjoy it.Reading is not running your eyes over a book.Read it actively and enjoy it completely.However, if you need to, read out the book fast, then you do not need to pay attention to every word.
