I was thinking about how some books draw me in while others bore me to tears after 2 pages. The obvious answer is that there is something of interest that relates to me or my goals. The stronger the interest the more I get absorbed in the reading material and the better I can remember it.

From this I can then work it the other way and find out what motivates me. I was reading Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks and was turning the pages with an energy of a chocoholic with an empty stomach eating into a Toblarone. I wanted to know the tricks used by these charlatons.

For me for the future I will now think about what it is that I want from the book before picking it up. I'm not all that big on entertainment for it's own sake and more influenced by what it means to me.

What are your motivations for reading?
