no wrong ways to read

Read slow. Read fast. Read sideways. Read backwards. Read in the hot tub and in the rain and by the sauna and only on days ending in day. Read when no one’s watching or read at the coffee shop and, if necessary, get indicted so you can read in court.

Buy books online. Rent audiobooks. Go to the library and ask a stranger for a recommendation. Read the back of the menu and the side of the cereal box, read in a language you don’t understand, read the smuttiest thing you can find (and then the smuttiest thing you can find after that). If necessary, break into stranger’s houses and read the books off their shelf. 

Because the worst imaginable form of reading is still better than the best version of not reading. 

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
