How to Binge Read Like a Pro

Books are oh so wonderful! They can transport us to a different place or a different time without us even having to move, they thrill, they entertain, they make us laugh, they make us cry! What better reason to be a binge reader, and here’s how to binge read like a pro.

Always have a book with you. Morning commute? Read a book! Lunch break at work? Read while you eat! Waiting to meet a friend for coffee? Read! Read! Read! If you’ve got a book with you wherever you go, be it paper or digital, you’ll always find time to catch up on your reading wherever you are. You’ll be burning through books before you know it.

Drop the Netflix subscription. We all love to curl up on the couch and zone out in front of the TV every once in a while, but all that watching is cutting into your reading time! Opt for a good book instead of what’s streaming, where do you think show producers get all their ideas anyway?

Get a library card or a subscription to an online library. Binge reading can be an expensive habit, with both paper and ebooks costing a pretty penny for all the latest titles. But a library card can give you access to every single book your library holds, often for free, and a subscription to an online library gives you the same access no matter where you find yourself!

Classic Books That Never Made it to Movies

With Hollywood constantly on the lookout for the next great movie adaptation, it may be hard to believe that some books considered classics by most have yet to be adapted to motion pictures. Here are two of the many classic books that have yet to be brought to life on the silver screen.

A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. A Confederacy of Dunces tells of the misadventures of Ignatius J. Reilly, an educated but lazy 30-year-old man, as he seeks employment. Along the way, Reilly comes into contact with several interesting characters in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the city in which he lives with his mother. Although the book was nearly never published, it earned Toole a Pulitzer prize for fiction in 1981, 11 years after his suicide. Although the book has long been slated for a film adaptation, it has yet to happen.

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Mark Haddon. Although it tells a rather heartwarming tale, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time has yet to be adapted to the big screen. The book centres around a 15-year-old boy who identifies as "a mathematician with some behavioural difficulties" who sets out to investigate the death of his neighbor’s dog. Although the boy’s condition is never specified, it is often suggested that the book serves as a wonderful insight into the life of someone with Asperger's Syndrome.
