Taking public transport.

All you need is an hour a day, which if you just stop watching stupid reruns on tv, is easy to free on your schedule. Also, if you really don't have much time, audiobooks offer a solution. And luckily, some major works are available on audio.

Public transit. Telecommuting job. Setting goals for yourself. Actually liking to read. Reading things you like that are hard to put down.

As soon as you shut yourself from the world, you'll have all the time in the word.
I go to college and work too, but i have no friends, no girlfriend, i never go out, i don't talk to people, not even my family.
I'm so happy i could cry. So happy i could kill myself from joy! :D

I do similar things on /a/, /v/ and /tv/.

I know how you feel OP, I used to be an avid reader, but work and school slowly began to eat into my reading time.

The best thing to do is just read a book instead of watching tv or a movie.

Also, read everywhere. You'll be surprised how fast you can read a novel in little 5 minute chunks.

>> No.904567

It's summer. I have a lot of free time and I read whenever /lit/ gets boring. Needless to say, I've been reading a lot.

>> No.904577

I read for school. Fuck year English major. Otherwise I mostly have books around me in places where I know I'll be bored.
Currently: Sci-fi/Horror anthology for the bathroom, pulpy vampire novel in my bag for when I'm running errands (Already Dead: A Novel, by Charlie Huston), Pale Fire in the kitchen for when I'm cooking or working on my computer, Storm Front in the living room for when I get home from work/school, just finished Naked Lunch and Darkly Dreaming Dexter which were in my bedroom for before I go to sleep.

Doesn't take much, anon.

I don't own a tv
