Very interesting column. Although it did not give me any huge pieces of advice, I did think of some other ways. Let me just state this though: My language arts teacher is forcing us to read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I find it very boring, even though I’m half-way through the novel. I have yet found the time to compelte the 12 chapters assigned and finish the worksheets along with it, but I have decided that even though you don’t like a book, pretend you do, and you will. Another thing that has really helped me, is that — since it has tons of action and mysterious scenes — I can play/act it out with my little brother. At the mere age of 8, he enjoys playing Gandalf, while I’m Bilbo. Then, we gather up our cats and act as if they are the goblins and run away from them! You will not believe the amount of time you save when you break it down into tinier pieces of information! I also remember the content of the novel easily!

Thanks for the help!

I should have been more specific! “When you are setting your highlights”

You just gave me a great idea for a bi-monthly feature: “Anna’s Picks”!!

Thanks for the comment!

Love the new site, by the way! But let’s be honest: you don’t really get any reading done while you’re getting your hair done. I,however, am able to pick up some great book ideas!!!
