John Cotton Dana (1856--1929) was a prominent turn-of-the-20th century librarian (Denver, Springfield, MA, and Newark NJ) and president of the American Library Association. He wrote these now-famous "12 Rules of Reading" and whatever device you're using to read: iPad, eReader, computer, smartphone, or a traditional book format, they are still true!
1. Read.
2. Read.
3. Read some more.
4. Read anything.
5. Read about everything.
6. Read enjoyable things.
7. Read things you yourself enjoy.
8. Read, and talk about it.
9. Read, very carefully, some things.
10. Read on the run, most things.
11. Don't think about reading, but...
12. Just read
