Me. Omg. Ha ha ha. Answering questions is sooo addicting to me. I don't know why. I think I have a problem. But I also think I give good advice and some friends get mad because I habitually do it, but here I can give advice, because well people are asking for it =)

In high school you have more responsibilities and thus reading becomes yet another responsibility. I don't think you're lazy or  lack motivation I just think you're busy and therefore tired. To recreate your youth you'd need to have less responsibilities, and since that probably is next to impossible I don't think you can read as much as you did when you were younger. You can however set aside time to read after your day to day tasks are seen to, and then you can reward yourself with a new page turner. Anyway, in order to enjoy a good book it needs to be for just that -- enjoyment not lumped in with all your other chores. Happy reading.

If you must read near sleep time do it,in a place that is lively but not loud.Try playing lively music.Better still do a combination of both,an have some else in the room to help you focus.I found a study partner,we would read at the all night laundry sometimes.(A/C a must).You got to try,an find a system that works,the early mourning is best,but not always practical.

Read what you are trying to learn on to tape. Then listen to the tape. It sounds like you learn more by listening. Trust me it works. You have to read the book anyways, might as well tape yourself and listen back.

Start reading the classics, also read general knowledge magazines. I know, but a little trivia keeps you from being too boring.

no but I read 3 to 4 novels a week plus work 50 hours a week my advice if you want to increase your reading is to read as fast as you can over and over again, but it matters on what your reading if your reading books for fun then you should just read them normally and over time your words per min. will increase if you are reading books for a class or for learning you can skim read though you will lose comprehension if you have any ?'s e-mail me at \nok50438@yahoo.com

Illeiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. There are Adult tutoring classes (even private one-on-one tutors) But, if you can't READ, then how are you going to decipher these answers?????

I think Frat and Saintrose have the right ideas.  Read everything, study it, compare it to what you believe.  Then pray earnestly about it and God will guide you.  In fact, that's how I became a Baha'i -- I read a bunch of stuff & got so excited by what I was reading that I started copying down (by hand....) sentences that I wanted to remember.  I wound up with 12 pages.  And I prayed a lot... I just couldn't (can't) stay away!

NEVER! This year alone I've bought 8 or 9 books, can't recall. I'm currently reading 1 biography, 1 psychology, 1 marketing, and am always reading management books. I like many others enjoy the sanctity of a good read. Staying focused is so much easier with books - no message alerts, and you can turn the phone off. The Internet is a useful tool, but ultimately, books are a 'reality', something you can hold, see, and feel. You can also give them as gifts - the Internet, not quite, not yet anyway. Plus there'll be a load of librarians out of work without books. lol. One last thing, what happens when the power goes out? Technology stops, the sun comes up and there is light - the simple things are often the best. Cheers. L

When you study break it into chunks. example: read one paragraph at a time and take a break, and/or take a five minute break every twenty minutes.  This is a fool proof plan I know from experience.
