Episode 20 - What Should I Read in English?

The Clark and Miller English Podcast

Let me ask you two questions: How many books have you started to read in English? And how many books have you finished in English? I bet the answers to these questions aren't the same. So why do we give up on books so easily? Well, it's usually for one of these reasons: 1. You've chosen a book that's too difficult. 2. You’ve chosen a book that’s not very interesting to you. 3. You’re a strong visual learner and you don’t like reading very much – even in your first language. 4. You either don’t have enough time to “get into” the book or you have a short concentration span. In this episode, I talk about why you're not finishing your English books, the difference between intensive and extensive reading, and I recommend eight books that you will (probably) finish. Reading is great fun – when you do it right!
