Lance reads lots of sci/fi / fantasy so it makes recommending that type of genre easy for me. I encourage students to try at least 15 pages, to see what if it will keep their attention, if it is of interest or worth pursuing. If it isn't. . . STOP - who has time to read an uninteresting book??
Where to read? Anywhere - never travel without a book - throw one in your purse, your car, your knitting bag. You never know when you will be able to grab a minute to read. Last year, I did family devotions in the car while waiting for the bus. I always have a book with me while waiting at the bus stop to pick kids up. I take one to appointments. Who likes to wait?? Use the time to READ. . .
