I get more from my reading by planning the books I read, sometimes by months, other times by weeks or days or even hours.
It's not perfect, and for me this is more of a guideline than something I stick to.
Listing the books I read makes it feel more real that I will them, but a more enjoyable part is ticking off that I have read them, especially the books that I have been working up to, one of them A Briefer History of Time I’ve actually started and finished my first read of this book of many more rereads to come.
