A comfortable chair, good light, and a book within reach.

A reading corner can be a chair beside a window or the end of a sofa. What matters most is that it is comfortable and easy to use. Keep a lamp nearby for darker evenings and give your current book a place to live.

Start with a few pages

Reading a little at a time can be satisfying. There is no need to turn every book into a task or finish one that is not holding your interest.

Keep a small note of a sentence you enjoyed. Over time, those notes become a record of what caught your attention.
