Content: If longer works seem overwhelming, start with short stories or poetry. It's all about feeding your mind—even if it's only one bit at a time. Excuse #2: Books Are Expensive
While it may be true that owning books was once considered a luxury, these days there are numerous sources for inexpensive literature. The Internet has opened a whole new arena for readers. Literature, both old and new, is available on your handheld device for free or deeply discounted prices. Of course, the most time-honored method for getting access to books of pretty much every description at little or no cost is your local public library. You can pick and choose without having to purchase. You can borrow the books and read them at home or read them on the premises, and with the exception of late fees or damages, it's usually free. The bargain section of your local brick and mortar bookstore is another place to find reasonably priced books.
