When is it time to become a reader?  People talk about wishing they had more time to read or wish they liked to read.  These are excuses because they usually don't know how to get started or when to find the time.  Once one starts reading they always find the desire and time.  Now the question is how, where and when.

Everyone today is busy with many demands on their time  including work, home, family, some kind of a social life, and of course church or volunteerism.  There are only 24 hours in a day, so when does that leave time for ourselves.  Once you become a reader you discover that you can pick up a book and read a little at a time.  We always believe that if a book is really good you cannot put it down.  This is something that takes time and practice. 
All those little blocks of time that you can pick up a book: waiting for appointments, bed time or just winding down, waiting for children to complete a task, (such as a bath, picking up toys, playing at the park, etc.), evenings while others are watching TV, during lunch or break at work, or even in the bath tub.  You'll find the time.

Now how to get started.  First you much decide what you want to read; this forces you to find your own interest. The field is wide open, fiction, nonfiction, romance, mystery spiritual, poetry, even reading to children.  Now you may have to do a little research such as looking on the internet which is a good way of finding titles and authors within your interest field.  The library where you can actually ask for help and the children can pick out books at the same time.  Start slowly; do not begin with a thousand page classical or a field you only think you should read.

Your excuses have been eliminated not get out there and learn to love reading.
