Step 5: Minimize distraction.
Find a quiet place. Disconnect from electronics, and avoid surrounding yourself with other people. They won’t mind. You can tell them all about the great novel you found later. For now, let yourself sink into the story.
减少干扰
找一个安静的地方。关掉各种通讯设备，逃离人群，静静的沉浸在故事中。你可以读完之后再去和大家分享。
Step 6: Note your progress.
Jot down the books you finish in a notebook. Writing something down about what you read, even if it’s only the title and author, will help you remember it longer and provide you with an accurate record of how close you are to reaching your goal.
记录自己的进度
把自己读过的书记录在一个本子上，即使只是写下书名和作者，也会让你更久的保持对一本书的记忆。另外这个清单能让你知道自己离目标还有多远。
Step 7: Spread the word!
One of the best things about being better read is that you’ve got more to share in conversation. Try writing a book review on your blog, or joining a book club. Who knows? You may inspire someone else to curl up with a good book, too.
多多分享
如果你在谈话时有了更多能与别人分享的东西，就证明你的阅读技能提高了。试着在你的博客上写写书评，或者加入一个阅读俱乐部。谁知道呢，也许你的分享就能成为别人翻开一本好书的理由。
