I was wandering around town yesterday when I thought I'd go to the library. I've been wanting to widen my reading range recently, so I had an idea, and thought I'd share it with you guys.
Go to your local library and walk around until you see a book you want to pick up. Don't think about it, just run your finger along the shelves and pick up a book. Don't look at what section/genre you're in. Don't even look at the cover, the title, the author or anything. Don't look at it when you're walking around, when you're at the counter or even when you're walking home. Pick about three books this way, you might even want to pick one from a genre you've never read before. I picked up a Western book. I've started to read one book, and I'm enjoying it so far, and I wouldn't have even thought to pick it up normally. Try to read some of the book and stick with it for a while, even if you don't enjoy it at first. This activity aims to widen you're reading range, and introduceyou to different styles of writing. Let us know how you get on.
