Earlier tonight, me and the usual suspects were at our usual haunt, the bookstore. I didn't bother getting a volume of manga or a book, because my nightstand is currently full. The seed did. I'm at the usual haunt so often that I've accumulated plenty of books. It may almost be impossible to read them all. Except that you buy them, you must read them.

Here's how I am getting through them.

I've decided to read more than one book at a time. "Incredulous!" you say. But that is the only way you can get through the backlog. When you read a book, and you find that it sucks, but don't want to not finish, then you're stuck if you only read one at a time. If you're on several books, you can always switch from the sucky one to the good one. It will take longer but you'll eventually finish the sucky one.

I've also kept a bathroom book. When conducting you're business, read a few pages or a chapter or two. But be careful, your may feet fall asleep.

Finally, know when to say when. If the book really does suck, and you wont finish it. Cut your losses. Start a new book. Forget the sucky one forever perhaps donate to library.

Those are some of the tips I shared with the usual suspects. If you've got more then feel free to share in comments.
