How Do You Keep Yourself Reading A Book If You Find It Boring But Need To Read It?

First, you need to look at it philosophically. Keep reminding yourself that this too will pass! ;)
Next divide the number of pages in the book by the number of days you have before you must be finished the book. That way you’ll know how many pages you have to read each and every day.
Now comes the difficult part: you have to determine to set aside a time each day and read the required number of pages. I would recommend that you go somewhere quiet, perhaps take some notes if you need that to remember important events or characters and reward yourself for achieving your goal after each reading session. You could give yourself a variety of rewards to keep it interesting: one day a piece of chocolate, one day allow yourself to read something you really enjoy for 30 minutes, etc.
I wish you success!

Website Where You Post Location Of Book Left In Public For Others To Pick Up?

A few years ago, I remember using a website where you could post the location of a book that you left somewhere for others to get it. I think it kept a history so you could track your book and see how it got around (one of those “feel connected with others”-type sites). Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Or does anyone know of a similar site?

What’s The Best Way To “break In” A New Hardcover Book?

I just received a couple of books as a gift that I’d like to keep for a while. I seem to remember once receiving a lesson on the appropriate way to open a hardcover book for the first time. As I recall, we are supposed to open the book a few pages at a time. However, I can’t remember whether we started in the center or at the outside. Could you give me some advice?

Yahoo Address Book Keeps Duplicating Three Names Over And Over. Why?

Three names in my address book keep duplicating themselves over and over. Last count they were in there about 140 times each.

This address book is the template for all my other address books and i don’t like this situation at all.
Yahoo has been no help on this one.

After Reading A Book With Diseases, Do You Start To Flinch And Twitch With Imaginary Symptoms?

I was doing a little research on a disease. And after going into details I started to imagine that I had the disease myself. Luckily after taking a course in Psychology I was experiencing the Medical Book Syndrome. What purpose does the medical book serve. It isn’t good for a hypochondriac to read. I guess it helps you learn about minor illnesses to keep the doctor’s office open for real cases of illnesses that are life threatening.
