How to read a book you don't want to read: Jim Trelease
http://vimeo.com/2273440
Read -- The basic premise is that you take the book "down" the same way they took the tree down. The tree was too large to cut down all at once (ouch—there goes the fence, the tool shed, and the neighbor's garage) so they took it piece-by-piece. So, too, with a 200-page book that's too large to leave until the night before the exam or the report is due. Chop the book into smaller pieces.

Along the way, Trelease also shares insights into reading positions (elevate the feet to the level of the heart and you're pumping less oxygen to the brain and pretty soon you're d-r-o-w-s-y . . . Also, check the brightness of that light bulb. There's one setting that will tire your eye muscles before all others. If the trees guys wouldn't think of arriving without their saw, don't forget that pen or pencil if you're reading. A simple notation in the margin engages a separate section of the brain and increases memory and comprehension. (Keeps you awake too.)

In our search for answers in our life, we may sometimes turn to others for guidance. Through meditation, you can hear clearly the many voices that sometimes call to us, lead us into action. These "guides" can take on any form: a sphere of light, a wolf, a tree or even another person. The advice they offer is golden since they know you very well. This meditation will help focus you to find these guides and listen to their words.

The Listening-Reading method, also known as L-R, is a language learning technique which focuses on understanding spoken and written language. The method was described in HTLAL's epic L-R thread.
More systematically about L-R here. Written and compiled by aYa, the originator of the method. Some links to resources as well. Her most complete notes on the subject in Polish here.
- a bilingual text in L1 and L2
- an audio recording in L2
Examples of sources to use:
- audiobooks plus the corresponding books in L1 and L2
- the material which comes with the Assimil courses (not considered to be true LR by aYa and many others - it's very different from using an audiobook)
Try to find something long and interesting.
