おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
読書量の増やし方について。
最近新しい本に全く接してないなーと思うんだけど、気に入った本を何度も再読するのが好きなのよね。
confiscate
意味 〈財産· 土地· 証拠品など〉を没収 [押収] する
That rule served me well in third grade, when I sneakily read The Baby-Sitters Club under my desk during math class. (After my teacher confiscated it, I pulled out another.) It’s kept me busy on airplanes, during long drives, while taking a breather in the middle of a hiking trail, and in the corner of social gatherings. (Yes, I’m a blast at parties…if you want to debate the umpteenth remake of Pride and Prejudice.)

devouring
意味 [通例[名]の前で]熱烈な, 激しい〈情熱· 野心など〉.
I love to read—and wish I could do more of it—because it’s an effective and entertaining way to quiet my always-busy brain. Reading also comes with health perks: Research suggests that devouring books helps keep the mind sharper for longer, while lowering heart rate and feelings of psychological distress. Plus, reading before bed can improve sleep quality.

daunting
意味 〈仕事· 見通しなどが〉（人を） ひるませるような, 気をくじく.
Short works like these aren’t as daunting as longer tomes and can motivate you to find a reading routine that will work best for you, Moreno says.

確かに、村上春樹は圧倒的に短編やエッセイが好き。長編は本当に序盤でハマらないと読むのがきついからね。
peruse
意味 (かたく)…を熟読 [精読] する; (時におどけて)…を読む, …に目を通す (read).
I log every book I’ve read, and the date I finished it, in a Word doc. I also like the Goodreads app; It’s a fun way to easily log the books you have or want to read, see what your friends are reading, and peruse other readers’ reviews.

これがな…書評まで行かなくても軽い感想を書くのも苦手で続かなかったわ。
prompt
意味 発言を促す言葉; （考えを促す） 提言, 問いかけ
One way to spice up your reading life is to join a reading challenge—and there are lots to choose from. The Barnes & Noble 2023 Book Challenge, for instance, consists of 52 prompts: Read an anthology, an author who’s new to you, a book that includes a map, something set in the 1700’s, or a title that scares the pants off you. Other challenges focus on decolonizing your bookshelf and revisiting the classics.

自分はしないけどwこれは面白そう！お題があると楽しく読めるかも。
pledge
意味 [～ to do]＜…に＞…すること […ということ] を誓う
If you don’t want to put a number on it, pledge to spend a specific part of each day reading. Wolf, for example, reserves 15 minutes every morning to read; if she’s unable to, she opens her book at night instead. “It centers you,” she says of the dedicated reading time. “It makes you realize you’re just a single human being with a precious sanctuary inside that no one knows about but you.”

これはあんまり。目標があると燃えるタイプには合ってるだろうけど、私は義務感で嫌になるタイプなんでねー。
squeeze
意味 [～ A＋[副]]（無理に）A〈人· 物など〉を押し込む, 詰め込む
Being open to different formats, including e-books and audiobooks, is a great way to squeeze in more reading time, Moreno says. (And to quickly settle that debate: Yes, listening to an audiobook counts as reading, our experts agree.) For example, if you’re waiting in line at the store, you can read a few pages on your Kindle. Or if you’re driving, walking the dog, or folding the laundry, why not turn on an audiobook?

Kindleはほんとにいいですね。
aesthetic
意味 (かたく)〈物などが〉美的に優れた, 芸術美あふれる.
One of my favorite corners of Instagram is #Bookstagram, where readers post aesthetically pleasing photos of their favorite books. You can also get to know fellow book enthusiasts from around the globe via communities like Goodreads, The StoryGraph, and LibraryThing. These sites offer “a social connection that’s really helpful, because reading can be a very solitary experience,” Moreno says.
