Herein lies the key to making yourself want to read more: Attach your reading to exciting, creative intellectual projects. A project is one of the best ways to increase a book’s gravitational pull on your psyche. You don’t have to be a professional teacher or a writer to teach and write. You don’t have to make a living from your intellectual work to justify integrating occasional creative intellectual projects into your life. A project that forces you to read, think, and create is an enriching and fulfilling challenge that everyone should take part in.
