Love books? Want to learn how to love books? Then, start reading this handy how-to!

Steps

  1. 1
    Visit your local library often. The library is the heart of a true Bookworm's soul! Spend your leisure time visiting the library and pick up some books that you find interesting or have been acclaimed online, on the grapevine or in book reviews. If you don't like the sound of the book, it doesn't matter! You can always buy or borrow a different one.
  2. 2
    Once you've found your section, just browse through it and pick out a few books you think are interesting. Go take a seat and read the first couple pages. If you think it's the perfect book, check it out and go home.
  3. 3
    Buy, or acquire, a lot of books! Ever heard the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover"? There are many online and retail book-stores, which hold mind-boggling selections of books. Scan through a couple, and buy ones you think are interesting.
  4. 4
    Carry/read books wherever you go. Sure, your friends might think this is pretty dumb, but if you love books, read them a lot without worrying about others' disapproval.
    • Bookworms not only collect books that they are going to read in the future, but also keep books they have already read by their beds. In order for the book you chose to be a book you can snuggle up with you have to check these things over. Is the book in my preferred genre / style? Is it too hard / easy? Do I like the first part of the chapter? After you check these things over and they're all answered positively you are now a bookworm with the book you've chosen (not that you should stop with just this book, of course).
  5. 5
    Find someone who loves books and literature as much as you do. Try making or joining a book club. Did you know that there are many online book clubs to join for free and make new friends and acquaintances? Try Goodreads, a social bibliophile website.
  6. 6
    Keep it healthy. Say you read for half an hour in the morning, half in the afternoon, and half at night. Also read during your spare time.
  7. 7
    Read thick books, if you're old enough for it. Start chapter books at about six or seven years of age.
  8. 8
    Read series. They'll keep you busy if the first book is good.
  9. 9
    If you find a book that you love and you know that you will read it over and over you should buy a copy to put on your shelf.
  10. 10
    If you want to start writing try reading the genre that you would write e.g.: sci-fi, mystery, romance.
  11. 11
    Keep it fun. Reading shouldn't be a chore, it should be something you look forward to.Read short version to know what is book about and then borrow it.

    That's perfectly fine. You can be a bookworm as well. You can make friends with the other bookworm, and if you don't like them, then you can just ignore them.
  • Question
    Are book worms and book lovers similar?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, they are. A book lover is someone who loves to read, and a book worm is someone who reads a ton of books, so the two often intersect.

  • Question
    How can I keep my mind on books instead of gadgets?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Turn the gadgets off and put them somewhere out of sight while you're reading, like in a cupboard. You could even give your gadget to someone and ask them not to give it back to you for a while.

    Try asking your local librarian or children's librarian for suggestions, really it depends on the age of the reader.
  • Question
    How can I stop all my nonsense and be a bookworm for the whole of my life?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you want to stop acting silly, focus on whenever you want to make a joke, stop and say something serious. Also, speak properly, don't use slang or say "like" randomly in a sentence. Have good posture. Stock up on books and spend a lot of time reading them. Keep the books in good condition and don't lose the front covers, get them wet, and so on.
